Abstract

Objective: In this study, MIGRAINE TRIGGERING FACTORS were analyzed. By identifying these factors and removing them, the recurrence of MIGRAINE attacks could be prevented as much as possible.Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 300 patients who referred to neurological clinic of Baqiyatallah Hospital in the first six months of 2005 were evaluated and the effective factors in their attacks were collected by questionnaire.Results: The most frequent reported factors in 78 male patients were lack of enough sleep (69.2% OR=3/2), fatigue (64.1%) and stress (61/5%) and the least contributing factors were drugs and fatty food (2.6% OR=115). The most common factors in all 222 female patients were stress and fatigue (65.8%) and the least contributing factors were tea and coffee (1.8%); whereas sexual activity and drugs were not reported in this group. The frequency of contributing factors of MIGRAINE in all 300 patients was as.follow: fatigue (65.3%), stress (64.7%), sleeping disorders (64.7%), hunger (48.7%), physical activity (41.3%), perfumes (46%), seasons (23.3%), climate changes (21.3%), cheese (11.3%), canned foods (11.3%), chocolate (10%), fatty foods (4.7%), onion (3.3%), pickles (3.3%), condiments (2.7%), tea and coffee (1.3%) and drugs (0.7%). The most frequently cited triggering factor in both genders was fatigue (65.3%). There was no relation between the TRIGGERING FACTORS and the gender and the type of MIGRAINE.Conclusion: Informing the patients with MIGRAINE about the headache TRIGGERING FACTORS is beneficial in reducing the intensity and the frequency of MIGRAINE attacks.
