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.

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.
