It's difficult to definitively say which neurological disorder is "number 1" as prevalence varies by region, age, and other factors. However, headache is often considered one of the most common neurological disorders globally.
Headaches are a very prevalent condition, affecting a large portion of the population at some point in their lives.
While many headaches are benign, some can indicate underlying medical conditions that require attention.
There are various types of headaches, including tension headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches, each with its own characteristics and treatment approaches.
Other neurological disorders, such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis, are also significant in terms of their impact on individuals and healthcare systems.
