Figure 6. NIH Funding per Disability Adjusted Life-Year (DALY) for Headache vs. Other Chronic Disorders.

Figure 6

NIH funded migraine research received an estimated $29 per DALY attributed to migraine in the US in 2007. Annual NIH funding per DALY for the 10 comparator disorders ranges from $232 to $1421, with a mean of $723.50. Equivalent annual headache funding would range from $103.5 million to $633.8 million. Annual headache funding equivalent to the mean of the comparator disorders equals $322.7 million.
