Review on primary headache among college students

Abstract

Introduction: The most common sort of headache problem on the planet is primary headache disorders yet underappreciated, misunderstood, and inadequately treated, and they seem to be the third leading cause of disability in the world, because of the unpredictability of headache attacks and the existence of associated symptoms including dizziness, vomiting, nausea, and visual and/or hearing problems, persistent primary headaches can even have a massive effect on peoples’ health. Migraine, the most common cause of headache in the world, is characterized by headache bouts that last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours if left untreated. Students are more likely to experience exhaustion, stress, and worry, being the most prevalent triggers of TTH as well as migraine. Cluster Headache is amongst the most debilitating headache conditions, with a significant level of severity. CH has a lesser incidence than migraines. It hits about one out of every thousand people. Methodology: Database searches including PubMed Central, Google Scholar and Cochrane library were performed. Studies that investigated Impact of primary headache, prevalence of primary headache among students, health related quality of life in students with primary headache disorders were included and reviewed. Articles that evaluate any form of secondary headache were excluded.
