AIWS Prevalence
The prevalence of AIWS remains somewhat unknown as the condition has not manifested widely enough to elicit large swaths of population data.2Blom, Jan Dirk. ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Systematic Review.’ Neurology Clinical Practice, vol. 6, no. 3, June 2016, cp.neurology.org/content/6/3/259 Clinical data indicates that condition prevalence among those with migraines is around 15 percent.2Blom, Jan Dirk. ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Systematic Review.’ Neurology Clinical Practice, vol. 6, no. 3, June 2016, cp.neurology.org/content/6/3/259
However, research shows that individual symptoms associated with AIWS may be more widespread than initially thought. Ongoing research is focused on parsing out those populations that might be most prone to developing AIWS and which age groups might be most at risk.2Blom, Jan Dirk. ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Systematic Review.’ Neurology Clinical Practice, vol. 6, no. 3, June 2016, cp.neurology.org/content/6/3/259
