Patient’s everyday activities and quality of life are impacted by migraine, a common neurological condition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate migraine patients' prescription patterns, medication adherence, and triggering factors. Using a standardized questionnaire, 150 migraine sufferers in Erode District participated in a cross-sectional observational study. Frequencies and percentages were used to gather and analyses data on migraine triggering variables, prescribed drugs, medication adherence, and demographic features.According to the survey, the most often given drugs were sumatriptan (46.00%), amitriptyline (47.33%), and naproxen (55.33%). Stress (91.33%), loud noise (90.00%), and bright light (86.00%) were the most commonly reported triggering events. The participants were also shown to have issues with drug adherence, specifically forgetting to take medicine and having trouble remembering medication. The study comes to the conclusion that optimizing migraine management and patient care requires accurate evaluation of prescription patterns, drug adherence, and triggering variables. Regular monitoring and patient education may assist to improve medication-taking habits and lessen migraine symptoms.
