The present study confirms the profound impact of headache on the performance of university students, with this impact much more evident among migraineurs but also important among students with ETTH.

This study investigated the effectiveness of placebo in the relief of migraine attacks without aura, migraine with aura, and episodic tension headaches. Patients with headache attacks who applied for emergency care (from March 1997 to November 1999) were divided into 3 groups (each group included 30 participants): migraine without aura (MBA), migraine with aura (MCA ) and with episodic tension headache (EGBN).
