  • Description: BackgroundEvidence suggests there is variation in the diagnosis, management, and support for people with migraine. To improve equity of service, in line with the aspirations of public policy across the UK, it is imperative to understand how sociodemographic factors affect management and care of migraine.MethodsWe conducted a focused review of literature published between 2000-2021 to outline the evidence describing the relationship between the nine protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010 and the epidemiology, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of migraine. Other factors such as deprivation, settlement status, education and employment were also explored.ResultsThere is much published literature on the relationship between age and sex in migraine epidemi- ology and management. There is good quality evidence regarding the large disability burden caused globally. There is limited evidence outlining the relationship between gender reassignment, ethnicity, religious and cultural factors, sexual orientation, settlement status, immigration and migraine. Further work should also focus on variation in access to specialist advice, and newer migraine treatments such as CGRP therapy.DiscussionBetter understanding of sociodemographic factors and their relationship with migraine epide- miology and management is key to improving equity of care. This review has identified gaps in knowledge that require further research.
