Abstract

Work accidents are a major cause of morbidity and mortality by creating a loss not only for the individual affected but also for society given the high number of absences from work that follows. Many have been efforts since the early 60 'to minimize the number of accidents but, although it is known a steady downward trend in recent years, in Italy in 2010 there were still 775,000 cases of accidents and 980 deaths. The study examined a population of 192 persons injured of which 41 have proven to be headache and data collected showed that the frequency of headache among the workers who suffer an injury is equal to 26.2%. Finally, it is conceivable that the reduction of attention, "disability" or the effect induced headache post-pharmacological risk factors are important in causing accidents at work and would therefore be appropriate to continue the study recorded the presence/absence of headache at the time of the event accidents.
