Migraine Headache and Its Related Disability Factors Among University Students in Jordan: A Cross-Sectional Study

This study highlights the high prevalence of migraine headache among university students in Jordan, with photophobia and sleep disturbances identified as common triggers. The findings suggest that students with severe migraine intensity and those experiencing aura are more likely to face moderate-to-severe disability. The widespread use of analgesic medications, particularly over-the-counter drugs, underscores the need for targeted interventions to manage migraine symptoms and enhance the quality of life for affected students.

Abstract

This study highlights the high prevalence of migraine headache among university students in Jordan, with photophobia and sleep disturbances identified as common triggers. The findings suggest that students with severe migraine intensity and those experiencing aura are more likely to face moderate-to-severe disability. The widespread use of analgesic medications, particularly over-the-counter drugs, underscores the need for targeted interventions to manage migraine symptoms and enhance the quality of life for affected students.
