Abstract

Notably, headaches were prevalent in 264 (53.5%) of the respondents. TTH frequent and infrequent emerged as the most common headaches among medical students, followed by migraine without aura then migraine with aura. Participants were statistically different according to sex, faculty, academic year and living conditions. Alarmingly, despite the substantial prevalence, only 42 (24.6%) students sought medical consultation.
