Objectives:
To Estimate the prevalence of migraine among PNU
students, in medical and other (non-health) colleges and to identify
its common triggers, and assess its severity and effects on the
students’ life.
Materials & Methods:
This is cross-sectional, questionnaire based
study, of convenient sampling technique. 523 students out of 539
participated students were included. Participants who had two or
more headaches in the last three months formed the headache
group. Afterwards, two preliminary questions were applied to the
headache group and participants with at least one affirmative
response were asked to perform the validated ID-Migraine test.
Results:
The mean age of the participants was 20.97±1.6 years;
448/523 students (85.7%) were screened positive for headache.
Migraine was detected among 234/523 of the students (45%);
17% were medical and 55% were non-health colleges. Lack of
sleep 89.3%, stress 74.8%, and menstruation 46.6% were the
most triggering factors of migraine. This study showed significant
association between migraine headache and studying in non-
health colleges (P=0.001). In medical students, the median pain
level was III (moderate) and migraine disability assessment score
was I (little).
Conclusion & Recommendations:
The prevalence of migraine
among PNU students was high compared to other studies. Further
studies should be carried out by neurologist for more knowledge
about migraine among students’ population.
