“…(14) Different of Adoukonou et al who in the city of Parakou (West Africa) demonstrated that university students presented 62% of this characteristic for migraine without and with aura, and the two migraines were not separated as to the duration of the crisis. (13) The prevalence of the type of pain (throbbing/pulsatile) was evidenced in 40% of the academics in this study (Table 3), different from the study of Galvez et al that showed 77,3% of throbbing/pulsatile pain in medical students with migraine without aura in a university of Lima (Peru), being greater than this study.…”

“…The authors justify the value found for the cultural reasons, the triggering factors and the methods of study. (13) Andrade et al classified medical students as having or not having migraine. Representing for students with migraine, a result of 8,6%, being a lower prevalence of migraine than the present study.…”

“…(14) And Adoukonou et al also demonstrated a higher result than the current study, confirming 61,4% of pain intensity for the severe item, in students with migraine from a University in Parakou. (13) The symptoms of migraine were observed: photophobia (light bothers) with percentage of 25,93% and phonophobia (noise bothers) with percentage of 29,64%, being the main symptoms of migraine (Table 6). In a study of Andrade et al was demonstrated that the percentage of phono and photophobia was of 60% in medical students with and without migraine.…”

Introduction:Migraine is a primary headache that is usually severe. It is classified into five main categories, the two most important being migraine without aura and migraine with aura. The common, without aura, is characterized by periodic headaches that are usually pulsatile and unilateral, exacerbated by activities and associated with nausea, photophobia and phonophobia. In academics, headaches lead to loss of days of study and worse academic performance. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of migraine without aura in academics of the Physiotherapy course. Methodology: A total of 217 physiotherapy students over 18 years of age were evaluated, and the headache questionnaire was applied according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition, 2014. Conclusion: It is concluded that there was prevalence of migraine without aura in academics of the Physiotherapy course.

Migraine is a chronic disease evolving through recurrent seizures; it constitutes a frequent reason of consultation in neurology. Epidemiological data on migraine in the world are available, but no study has been conducted in general population in Congo. To determinate the prevalence of migraine in population of Brazzaville, we conducted a prospective cross-sectional, door-to-door study. This study took place from March 1 st to July 31 st , 2018, in the city of Brazzaville. Regarding all subjects over 18 years old, living in Brazzaville for over ten years. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 software for Mac. The prevalence of migraine was 11,3% in Brazzaville, with 6% definite migraine and 5,3% of probable migraine. Women are more affected than men respectively 63,5% and 36,5%. Migraine without aura is more common than migraine with aura. Migraine is a public health problem because of its prevalence. Its affects the young adult and more preferably the woman The knowledge of the epidemiology of migraine in Brazzaville will lead to better awareness-raising actions.

Background Migraine is a complex, neurobiological disorder usually presenting as a unilateral, moderate to severe headache accompanied by sensory disturbances. Migraine prevalence has risen globally, affecting 14% of individuals and 16% of students and carries many negative impacts in both cohorts. With no recent meta‐analysis of global migraine prevalence or associated factors in students, this systematic review and meta‐analysis were conducted. Databases and data treatment The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020167927). Electronic databases (n = 12) were searched for cross‐sectional studies (1988 to August 2021, IHS criteria). Ninety‐two articles were meta‐analysed and 103 were narratively reviewed. The risk of bias was assessed using an established tool. Results The risk of bias ranged from low to moderate. Migraine pooled prevalence (R‐Studio) was demonstrated at 19% (95% CI, 16%–22%, p < 0.001, I^2 98%): females 23% (95% CI, 19%–27%, p < 0.001), males 12% (95% CI, 9%–15%, p < 0.001). Gender (p < 0.0001), geographical region (p = 0.01), migraine types (p = 0.0002) and prevalence timeframes (p = 0.02) may be influencing the substantial heterogeneity. Migraine triggers were primarily behavioural and environmental and treatments were predominantly pharmaceutical. Impacts ranged from academic performance impairment to psychological co‐morbidities. Conclusions This study offers the most comprehensive overview of migraine prevalence and associated factors in university students. Migraine prevalence in university students has increased and has many negative effects. Enhancing migraine recognition and management at university may have positive implications for an improved educational experience, as well as for the burden migraine currently incurs, both in university and beyond. Significance This global systematic review and meta‐analysis of 92 studies and narrative review of 103 studies provide the most comprehensive synthesis to date of migraine prevalence and associated factors in university students. Pooled prevalence has increased to 19%. The significant heterogeneity demonstrated is influenced by gender, geographical region, migraine type and prevalence timeframes. Students manage migraines primarily with pharmaceuticals. Further studies conducted in low and middle‐income countries, following headache protocols and reporting frequency of treatment‐seeking and medication usage are warranted.
