Abstract

Introduction: migraine is a disease of the central nervous system that presents with recurrent headache, accompanied by autonomic symptoms and increased sensitivity to stimuli. Aim: to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of women with migraine in a neurology consultation. Methodology: an observational, descriptive and cross- sectional study was carried out. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data and the chi square statistic was used to determine the possible association between qualitative variables. Results: a total of 40 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 30.7(SD=7.55) years. Patients whit white and black skin color predominated, 75% presented migraine episodes whithout aura. The patients had moderate to severe pain intensity with visual analog scale (VAS) score 7.70 (SD = 1.77), 100% presented severe disability with Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) score 23.2 (SD= 1.91), 75% of the patients had a very severe headache impact with HIT-6 score 62.5 (SD = 4.40). There wasn’t association between pain intensity and family history of migraine (p=0,804). Conclusion: young women are the ones who most frecuently attend neurology consultations with great disability and the impact of headache.
