Abstract
All migraine patients were screened for an industrial sponsor research related (ISR) to migraine. Describe the sub-analysis of demographics characteristics of all migraine patients. Data of all migraine patients were collected from pre-screening methodology to provide adequate sample for an ISR in 2018. All cases need to fulfil the diagnostic criteria of migraine following ICH 2017. Descriptive analysis was performed in describing gender, history of migraine duration, clinical phenotype, prophylaxis usage, marital status and education level. 75 patients aged 18 to 65 years with migraine history above 12 months and headache frequency <15 headache days per month across the 3 months prior to screening were selected. Only 5 out of 7 patients who were eligible, fulfil all criteria and complete ISR protocol. The median age is 24 years old (range 21–30) and predominantly female (85%). Mean duration of migraine onset is 5 years whereas median migraine attack frequency is 9 times per month. All patients described clinical phenotype as unilateral throbbing headache, photophobia and vomiting. 85% of patients are single and only 4 patients receive tertiary education. All patients never receive migraine prophylaxis and use single analgesia as rescue treatment. The number of non-eligible patients is higher due to strict criteria imposed. Among this group, 4 patients had tension headache and 3 patients had depression. ICH 2017 is helpful in diagnosing migraine accurately. Our results are comparable with previous migraine patients’ data and all of our patients were prophylaxis naïve mild to moderate migraine.
