Another aim was to estimate migraine prevalence in primary care clinics in the capital area of Iceland over the period 2010-2019 and describe prescriptions for migraine specific drugs and  other drugs used for migraine. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study based on data from medical records from the primary care clinics of the capital region of Iceland. The cohort consisted of individuals aged 10-79 years who were diagnosed with migraine, G43 according to the ICD-10 classification system.  RESULTS: Migraine incidence at age 10-79 years over the ten-year period 2000-2009 at the primary care clinic S\u00f3lvangur was estimated 3.4 cases per 1000 person-years, during the period 2010-2019 in both S\u00f3lvangur and Fj\u00f6r\u00f0ur clinics migraine incidence was estimated 2.9 cases per 1000 person-years. Increase was shown between the two periods in prescriptions of triptan drugs, opioids, and beta-blockers, where two-thirds of the migraineurs got prescription over the two periods. Women were three times more likely to be diagnosed with migraine than men, but men were diagnosed at younger age than women. Migraine prevalence at age 10-79 years in PHCCs in the capital area of Iceland was 4.4% over the period 2010-2019.  CONCLUSION: Migraine prevalence in the PHCCs of the capital area of Iceland was only one third of migraine prevalence in the population-based cohort pilot study Heilsusaga \u00cdslendinga. Increase in opioid drug prescriptions for individuals diagnosed with migraine is of concern and needs further study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17992\/lbl.2023.01.724","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,21]],"date-time":"2022-12-21T11:44:40Z","timestamp":1671623080000},"page":"11-17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Migraine prevalence, migraine incidence and migraine drug prescriptions in primary care in the capital region of Iceland"],"prefix":"10.17992","volume":"109","author":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Iceland","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S\u00f3lveig Sara","family":"\u00d3lafsd\u00f3ttir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00f3n Hersir","family":"El\u00edasson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Neurology Clinic Kristianstad, Sweden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna Margr\u00e9t","family":"Gu\u00f0mundsd\u00f3ttir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Health Care Unit Solvangi, Hafnarfir\u00f0i","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emil L","family":"Sigur\u00f0sson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Health Care Unit Solvangi, Hafnarfir\u00f0i, Faculty of Medicine, University of Iceland, Development Centre for Primary Healthcare in Iceland.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L\u00e1rus S","family":"Gu\u00f0mundsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Iceland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"7439","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,3]]},"container-title":["L\u00e6knabla\u00f0i\u00f0"],"original-title":["Algengi og n\u00fdgengi m\u00edgrenis og \u00e1v\u00edsanir \u00e1 lyf vi\u00f0 m\u00edgreni \u00ed heilsug\u00e6slu h\u00f6fu\u00f0borgarsv\u00e6\u00f0isins"],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,11,4]],"date-time":"2026-11-04T13:26:25Z","timestamp":1793798785000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/laeknabladid.is\/tolublod\/01-tbl-109-arg-2023\/rannsokn-algengi-og-nygengi-migreni-og-avisanir-a-lyf-vid-migreni-i-heilsugaeslu-hofudborgarsvaedisins-2"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,3]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17992\/lbl.2023.01.724","relation":{},"ISSN":["0023-7213","1670-4959"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0023-7213","type":"print"},{"value":"1670-4959","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,3]]}}}
