The sample size of the study consists of 60 patients with migraine headaches. Results and Discussion: Demographic variables education (χ 2 = 16.113, p=0.013) and residence (χ 2 =7.329, p=0.026) had shown statistically significant association with post test level of episodic pain among patients with migraine at post test level of episodic pain among patients with migraine.
