Aim: To screen for psychiatric comorbidities in chronic migraine patients. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to compare overall psychiatric morbidity of 100 patients of chronic migraine and control group of 100 healthy individuals. Results: Chronic migraine cases had more psychological disturbance in comparison to healthy control (61% vs. 4%).
