According to gender wise distribution 53 (17.66%) were males and 247 (82.33%) were females and patients under the age group 24-30 (20.33%) were at higher risk and the migraine headache mostly starts at the age group of 24-30(25%) The time period for each episode was 0-24hours 87.66% patients. The nature of pain was pulsatile in 76% patients & non pulsatile in 24.33% patients and feeling sense of pressure and heaviness in 50%, stabbing sensation in 40.3% ,pricking sensation in 67.6% patients.
