Abstract

Memory and attention disorders are a common problem in patients with chronic migraines. Studies show that about 56% of patients with chronic migraines complain of memory impairment. These impairments may include difficulties with attention, memory, and learning.

Cognitive impairments in patients with chronic migraine may be associated with frequent and severe headaches, as well as concomitant conditions such as depression and sleep disorders. It is important to note that these disorders are often underestimated and can significantly impair the quality of life of patients.

The aim of the work is to study the presence and nature of subjective and objective cognitive disorders in patients with chronic migraine.
