We found it timely to systematically appraise the current literature on prevalence, relative frequency, and clinical features of cervicogenic headache in population- and clinic-based settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PubMed and Embase were searched for observational, population- and clinic-based studies published between 1 January 1942 and 3 September 2024 that reported on the prevalence and relative frequency of cervicogenic headache, diagnosed according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders. The titles, abstracts, and full text-articles were screened by two independent investigators. To estimate prevalence and pooled relative frequency of cervicogenic headache across clinic- and population-based studies, random-effects meta-analyses were conducted. The study was pre-registered on PROSPERO (identifier: CRD42024498128) and reported in accordance with the Guidelines for Meta-Analyses of Observational Studies in Epidemiology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three studies met the inclusion criteria from the International Classification of Headache Disorders for diagnosing cervicogenic headache. One was population-based reporting on the prevalence and two were clinic-based reporting on the relative frequency of cervicogenic headache among adult patients who were evaluated for headache in a tertiary care unit. The one population study reported a prevalence of 3.9% with females representing 77.8% of those affected. In the two clinic-based studies, the relative frequency was found to be 3.1% (95%, CI, 2.6\u20133.8) amongst the adult outpatient population of 3165 patients evaluated for headache, with women representing 80.8% (95%, CI, 71.9\u201387.4).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Based on this meta-analysis, data on the prevalence and relative frequency of cervicogenic headache are limited.
