Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Neurology department, Pak Emirates Military Hospital Rawalpindi. One year, from 1st May 2017 to 30th April 2018. Methodology: The sample population comprised of 201 patients of new or previously diagnosed migraine presenting with acute attack at neurology department of PEMH Rawalpindi. Migraine was diagnosed by the consultant neurologist on the basis of International Classification of Headache Disorders diagnostic criteria for migraine. Symptoms of the premonitory phase were classed as Fatigue and musculoskeletal problems, cognitive and affective problems, homeostatic alterations, perceptual abnormalities, affective symptoms and others. Results: Out of 201 patients of migraine reporting in neurology OPD, 90.1% patients reported at least one symptom of premonitory phase. Male to female ratio of the patients was 1:3. Affective symptoms including low mood was the commonest symptoms reported among the target population followed by fatigue. Mean age of patients included in the study was 33.43 ± 3.845 years.
