“…This finding was consistent to an Indian study done by Bhatia MS et al, where the frequency of migraine was more with four episodes per month (26%) and seven episodes per month (12%). 17 Depending on the pain score, authors categorised pain severity as mild, moderate, severe and very severe. In present study, 43.7% of patients had pain score of 6 indicating severe pain followed by 42.8%, 5.9 % who had pain score of 8 and 4 respectively indicative of very severe and moderate pain respectively.…”

Background: Primary headache disorders are among the most ubiquitous disorders affecting people worldwide. Migraine headache is one of the commonest syndromes of primary headache. There are few studies regarding clinical profile of migraine and migraine triggers in India. The objective this study was to study the gender, age distribution, frequency, severity of migraine attacks and other associated symptoms in patients presenting with migraine. To study in detail about triggers of migraine in present study population.Methods: About 222 patients who presented with history suggestive of migraine with or without aura defined according to International classification of headache disorders 2, fulfilling the study criteria were included. The study duration was fifteen months from March 2017 to May 2018. Details were collected using a proforma.Results: In this study, incidence of Migraine is higher in females (169,76%) than males (53, 24%). Majority of migraine patients were between age group of 18-29 years constituting about 77 patients (34.65%). Frequency of migraine more commonly observed was 3-4 per month was observed in 64 patients (29%) and chronic migraine was seen in 19 patients (8.4%). Migraine without aura is most common type observed in this study. Many patients had more than one trigger. More common triggers identified were sun exposure (85, 38.3%), sleep deprivation (83, 37.4%), stress (84, 37.8%) and travel (80, 36%).Conclusions: Migraine is more common in females than males with majority being in between age group of 18-29 years. Many had frequency of 3-4 episodes per month. Most had more than one trigger.

PurposeTo evaluate retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in migraine patients with unilateral headache.MethodsA total of 58 patients diagnosed with migraine headache consistently occurring on the same side and 58 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were evaluated in this cross-sectional study. RNFL thickness was measured using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and the side with the headache was com-pared with the contralateral side as well as with the results of healthy subjects.ResultsThe mean patient age was 33.05 ± 8.83 years, and that of the healthy subjects was 31.44 ± 8.64 years (p = 0.32). The mean duration of disease was 10.29 ± 9.03 years. The average and nasal RNFL thicknesses were significantly thinner on the side of headache and on the contralateral side compared to control eyes (p < 0.05, for all). Thinning was higher on the side of the headache compared to the contralateral side; however, this difference was not statistically significant.ConclusionsThe RNFL thicknesses were thinner on the side of the headache compared to the contralateral side in the migraine patients with unilateral headache, but this difference was not statistically significant.

“…Since, findings from clinical investigation of an episode were unspecified disease with psychiatric disorder, migraine head ache, and syncope. An important feature of migraine and syncope was their co-morbidity with mass psychogenic illness and other neurological diseases [23][24][25][26].Similar incident was reported from South Africa, Malawi [27,28] but unlike the current incident due to infectious disease was reported from the village of India, West…”

Background Mass psychogenic illness has been documented for more than 600 years in a variety of culture, ethnic, and religious settings. The aim of this study was to assess the nature and characteristics of mass psychogenic illness in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia, Methods School based cross-sectional study was conducted in haraza elementary school from January –February, 2020. Students who were victims of an episode were subjects of the study. A total of twelve students were investigated using semi-structured questionnaire for quantitative study. Seven key informant interviews were conducted using guiding questionnaires. Quantitative data was analyzed using XL sheet while qualitative data was analyzed manually. Result the mean age of study participants was 14 years (SD±1.3). Majority (87%) were teenage female students. The incident was unspecified disease with psychiatric disorder, migraine and syncope with no plausible organic causes. An important feature of migraine and syncope was their co-morbidity with mass psychogenic illness. The community perceived that Evil-devil force and blaming as being an evil-eye were common causes for the occurrence of an episode. Conclusion lack of empirical knowledge and awareness about its management and prevention among community members and health professionals resulted exaggerated rumor that would perceived as newly emerging disease that affected school activities. Integrating MPI in PHEM package at health facility level, advocacy workshops for media and other relevant stakeholders will minimize its impact for the future.
