Clinical Characteristics of Migraine in Twelve Sudanese families

Abstract

The quality of life of a migraineur affects his/her familial and social situations, in addition to the impaired physical and emotional well being [1]. In the Global Burden of Disease Survey 2010, migraine was ranked as the third most prevalent disorder and seventh-highest specific cause of disability worldwide [2]. Migraine is a demanding and expensive disorder, beside the expensive medical costs there is a financial burden due to recurrent absenteeism from the work and hence diminished productivity [3].
