within the four questions. Respondents were willing to sacrifice median 5 and 8 years of their remaining lifespan until the age of 80 years for avoiding two migraines per month and per week, respectively. Mean utilities for two migraines each month were U20m= 0.84 (SD 0.26) and U80m= 0.89 (SD 0.14), and for each week were U20w= 0.79 (SD 0.27) and U80w= 0.83 (SD 0.17), respectively. Self-reported migraneurs elicited higher mean utilities compared to non-migraneurs for all migraine health states but this difference was statistically significant only for U80m (p= 0.039). Also, males attached lower mean utilities for all health states than females but this was significant only for U80m (p= 0.018). Besides, older respondents valued higher mean utilities for U20m compared to the younger ones (p= 0.040). ConClusions: Our findings provide the first time trade-off utilities on migraine associated HRQOL impairment. Disutility caused by migraine ranged between 0.1 and 0.2 depending on attack frequency.
