Factors associated with developing chronic daily headache in migraine patients
Abstract
To examine the factors associated with developing chronic daily headache in migraine patients. Two hundred patients with migraine were selected for this descriptive study conducted from 01-Sept-2023 to 30-Nov-2023 at the Department of Medicine, Lady Reading Hospital, Medical Teaching Institution, Peshawar. Factors associated with developing chronic daily headache were assessed. SPSS 23 was employed for analyzing the data. The mean age was 38.09±12.03 years. The frequency of chronic daily headache in our study was 31 (15.5%). Female gender (p = 0.02), smoking (p = 0.0001), high caffeine intake (p = 0.0001), painkiller overuse (p = 0.0001) and obesity (p = 0.0001) were factors significantly identified for developing chronic daily headache. We conclude that the factors for developing chronic daily headache in migraine patients were female gender, smoking, high intake of pain relieving medicines, high intake of caffeinated drinks and obesity.
