Objective:
To determine work impact of chronic migraine (CM) versus episodic migraine (EM).
Methods:
Data were from the 2005 American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention study, a longitudinal population survey of more than 11,000 migraineurs. Lost productive time (LPT) was measured as missed work hours plus reduced productivity hour equivalents.

Conclusions:
The work impact of CM and high frequency EM will be underestimated if employment status is not measured.
