Assessment of the Impact of Headache on the Employee Population of Libbs Pharmaceutical Ltd

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of primary headaches using data previously collected in a healthcare program conducted by Libbs with its employees. The study aims to identify the main types of headaches, assess their impact on work and quality of life, describe treatment modalities and healthcare services used, and analyze possible correlations between job position or sector and the occurrence of headaches, as well as their impact on productivity. This retrospective observational study analyzes secondary data collected from Libbs employees during a healthcare program designed to understand the impact of migraine on work productivity and daily activities. Data were obtained through validated questionnaires made available via an app. As this study involves the analysis of previously collected data, it does not provide direct benefits to participants. However, it contributes to a better understanding of migraine symptoms among Libbs employees, supports awareness of the risks of self-medication, and highlights the effects of headaches on daily routines and productivity. No therapeutic intervention is proposed in this study. Decisions regarding diagnosis, interventions, and treatments were made exclusively by the Dr. Cefaleia app team at the time of data collection, without any interference related to the development of this research. The HIT-6 score and the four WPAI outcomes will be analyzed: absenteeism (lost work time), presenteeism (impairment while working), overall work productivity loss (absenteeism plus presenteeism), and impairment in activities outside of work. This study provides an opportunity to expand the understanding of the relationship between working conditions, headaches, health, and productivity. The analysis may help identify epidemiological patterns and occupational or social risk factors associated with headaches, supporting future preventive strategies and workplace health initiatives aimed at improving quality of life and productivity.
