Abstract

Migraine is a common headache disorder in students, which has significant effects on the physical, mental, and academic health of this group of people, especially during adolescence. The prevalence of migraine in this population group is approximately 7.7% and can cause problems such as reduced sleep quality, sensitivity to light and sound, cognitive impairment, and reduced ability to concentrate. Migraine symptoms, along with school environmental pressures, can cause many problems for affected students and cause absenteeism, academic failure, and social problems. This study examines the various challenges that students with migraine face in schools and suggests solutions to support these students in the school environment. These solutions include creating environmental facilities, changes in the school schedule, adjusting school hours, and utilizing psychological and social support. Also, raising awareness among teachers and classmates and counseling for stress management can have a positive impact on the quality of life and academic success of these students.
