Migraine is a frequent headache disorder in the population. The
aim of this cross-sectional study was to document demografic and
clinical features of subjects with migraine headache who admitted
to the outpatient department of a university hospital in Konya. The
study included 206 patients diagnosed as migraine according to
the 2004 International Headache Society criteria and 218 healty
controls of identical sex, age, marital status and education level
who did not suffer from frequent headaches other than tension
type with a frequency of not more than once a month. Using a
questionnaire, we evaluated patient demographics, characteristics
of migraine headache, family history and associated symptoms in
206 migraine pattients. 173 woman and 33 men were evaluated. The
male:female ratios of migraine patients were 1:5. The mean age at
consultation was 37.02±10.40 years. Of the 206 patients, 64.4%
met criteria for migraine without aura, while 35.4% met criteria for
migraine with aura. Most of the women were of lower educational
level. Approximately half of the patients had severe and more than 3
attacks per month. Attack treatment was used frequently. Result of
the study confirm that migraine is a more common disorder in women
with lower educational level. In additon; this article emphasizes the
need for informing patients of the hazards of drug overuse.
