Annual labor costs were calculated using the following formula: labor cost = productivity loss in hours per attack × mean hourly wage × 3 workplace attacks per month × 12 months. Productivity loss represents the total number of hours lost from work owing to symptoms as well as hours lost owing to reduced effectiveness while working with symptoms. Mean wage per hour was determined by occupational category using national labor statistics.2 The average of 3 workplace migraines per month was based on data from similar migraine populations in long-term multiple-attack clinical trials.
