Abstract

The current learning concludes the prevalence of migraine among undergraduate students of life sciences at BUITEMS and is found to be relatively low (19%). In addition, a strong positive association between migraine and it associated symptoms were identified. Besides, triggering factors like stress, tension, noise, light etc escalates the intensity and quality of migraines i.e., severity of diseases. Another interesting finding of our studies revealed that inspite of low percentage of Life sciences students suffered from migraine but females were more affected than male which displayed lower prevalence rate Thus, awareness and education regarding the implications of migraine among university students is must and considering the characteristics of our health system, we can infer that this study would be beneficial in the primary care setting in the future, encouraging generalist practitioners to make a correct diagnosis of migraine.
