Clinical profile and functional disability of patients with migraine.
Bottom Line:
There was a female preponderance with 70% of study participants being females.The various symptoms experienced by patients include throbbing pain (90%), photophobia (93.3%), phonophobia (85%), nausea (76.7%), and vomiting (41.7%).Most of the subjects (73.3%) under the study belonged to moderate to severe levels of functional disability.

ABSTRACT
Background: Migraine is a common disabling primary headache disorder. Globally, migraine was ranked as the seventh highest cause of disability. Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the clinical profile and functional disability of patients with migraine. Settings and design: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at the neurology outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Karnataka. Materials and methods: Using a consecutive sampling technique, 60 patients were recruited for the study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: Majority of the participants were in the age group of 18-40 years with a mean age 35.22 years. There was a female preponderance with 70% of study participants being females. The various symptoms experienced by patients include throbbing pain (90%), photophobia (93.3%), phonophobia (85%), nausea (76.7%), and vomiting (41.7%). Most of the subjects (73.3%) under the study belonged to moderate to severe levels of functional disability. About 53.3% of patients were in the category of episodic migraine and 46.7% were in the category of chronic migraine. Conclusion: Migraine is associated with moderate to severe functional disability. Frequency of migraine has a positive correlation with the levels of disability/migraine disability assessment scores of migraineurs. No MeSH data available. Related in: MedlinePlus |

Figure 4: Box and Whiskers plot on pain score of migraineurs (n = 60) Mentions: Pain intensity was assessed using the last item of MIDAS test. The pain scores ranged from 4 to 10 on a 10-point numerical pain scale. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) pain score was 7.75 (1.71) (95% CI, 7.31–8.19), which denotes that migraine often results in high-intensity pain [Table 3]. Figure 4 represents the pain score of migraineurs. |
