Description
Gabriele d'Ettorre, Roberta Tornese, and Andrea Baldassarre studied headaches among female nurses in a 2025 paper. Headache disorders are common and hard to prevent in hospital staff. The team used a large hospital's work health records to count how many nurses had a headache disorder in one year and to test which job factors were linked to it.
The records covered 975 nurses. About 46 percent had a headache disorder that year. Tension headache was the most common type, followed by migraine. Work schedules alone showed no link, but tension headache was more common in nurses over forty, in those with long service, and in those working many night shifts. High work stress also raised the risk. The authors argue that changes at work could cut the burden on nursing staff.
