Migraine Prevalence and Academic Impact on Medical Students at Alfaisal University
Background
Migraine is highly prevalent among medical students but has been understudied in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to determine migraine prevalence, characteristics, academic impacts, and coping strategies in medical students.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 352 medical students. Migraine was identified using ID-Migraine (38.8% prevalence) and International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (ICHD-3) criteria (36.8% prevalence). Analyses focused on the 130 students meeting ICHD-3 criteria.
Results
The mean monthly migraine frequency was 3.5 days. Average pain severity was moderate at 6.4/10. Mean duration was 9.3 h. Exams triggered migraines for 66% and increased headache frequency/severity for most students. Headaches limited productivity ≥1 day for 86% and caused missed exams and grade point average (GPA) declines. Rest (77.7%), trigger avoidance (57.7%), and medications (56.9%) were the most common coping strategies.
Conclusion
Migraine prevalence exceeded general population estimates, frequently disrupted academics, and was exacerbated by exam stressors. Support services and education on coping strategies tailored to academically triggered migraines could better equip students to manage headaches.
