Aim:
Our aim is to assess the of knowledge , attitude and
practice towards migraine treatment and prevention
among medical college students in saveetha medical
college.
Method
A cross sectional study(questionnaire based) will be
done to assess the of knowledge and attitude and practice
towards migraine treatment and prevention among
medical students from first year to final year in saveetha
medical college. Collected data will be analysed. The
results will be used to propose teaching modules to
medical students which will reduce delay in referrals and
speedy treatment for the needy
Result
The awareness among the medical students was
poor regarding, what are the causes of migraine and
migraine prophylaxis and treatment.The attitude and
practice about the disease was also poor among most of
the students as they don’t even consider migraine as a
disease that needs consultation and the most of them will
take drugs without consultation.
Conclusion
We conclude there is lack of awareness, knowledge,
attitudes, about migraine treatment and prevention
among medical students. Further community-based
population studies and awareness programmes should be
carried out to improve the knowledge about migraine
prevention and treatment.
