ABSTRACT

Introduction. Migraines are a public health problem that affects mainly the working age population. External factors such as stress and changes in eating and sleeping habits are likely factors in triggering migraines. These triggering factors are present in the daily lives of medical students.
Objective. To assess the impact of migraines on the quality of life of medical students.
Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional study that included 93 medical students of the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of Yucatan, Mexico was performed. The study was conducted in two phases: First a questionnaire was used to diagnose migraine and select subjects for the second phase Next, two separate questionnaires were used to measure the degree of disabilities and quality of life, the Migraine Disability Assessment Scale and the Headache Needs Assessment respectively.
Results. Overall migraine prevalence was 38.7%, as more women were affected than men (44% vs. 36%). All patients with migraine had some degree of disability: 56% had grade I, 19% grade II, 14% grade III and grade IV 11%. The quality of life areas most affected were job performance and life energy.
Conclusions. More than one third of medical students experience migraines during their year of clinical practice, causing disabilities and reduced work performance
