Background Migraine attacks can last for hours to days with severe pain which can affect the daily activities. Literature on quality of life of migraineurs is Saudi Arabia is scarce. This study aimed to assess the quality of life and its predictors among patients with migraine in Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with migraines in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed online among migraine patients that included; socio-demographic characteristics and an Arabic version of validated migraine-specific quality of life questionnaire (MSQ), version 2.1. Data analyses were performed in SPSS version 26. Results A total of 320 patients with migraines participated in the study. The most common age group was 18–25 years (36.6%) with females were dominant (60.9%). According to the results of MSQ version 2.1, the mean ± SD scores of Role Restrictive (RR), Role Preventive (RP), and Emotion Function (EF) were 67.7 ± 19.7, 68.5 ± 20.6, and 70.6 ± 22.1, respectively. Statistical tests revealed that patients who reported less frequent migraine attacks, had better scores in RR, RP, and EF, while the use of paracetamol and painkillers for the treatment of headache were associated with lower scores in RR, RP, and EF. Conclusions The quality of life among patients with migraines was generally moderate. Males demonstrated better QOL than females. Furthermore, patients who had less frequent migraine attacks exhibited better QOL than the others but working patients were likely to demonstrate poor QOL. |
