Environmental trigger factors associated with migraine in the population of Jammu region of J&K State (India)
Parvinder Kumar
University of Jammu, India
Migraine is an episodic neurovascular disorder that is associated with significant unilateral head pain, non-productivity
at workplace and reduced quality of life. Its cause is both genetic and environmental; therefore, it is regarded as a multi-
factorial neurological disorder, which involves an interaction of genetic and environmental risk factors for its development.
Migraine can be triggered by a number of extrinsic and intrinsic factors such as stress, fasting, sleep disturbances, bright lights
etc. The present study has been taken up to evaluate the different factors that trigger migraine in the population of Jammu
region of J&K State. A total of 102 migraine patients were enrolled for the investigation of different migraine triggers. Noise,
stress, physical exhaustion (tiredness), travelling, sleep disturbances, change of weather, fasting, odours and pollution were
the leading migraine triggers found in the present study. In migraine management, trigger factors are crucial because their
avoidance may result in a better control of the disease.
