Abstract (croatian)

Migrena je prevalentna neurološka bolest koja pogađa više od 1,1 milijardu ljudi širom svijeta, s dvostruko većom učestalošću kod žena. Obilježava je intenzivna, pulsirajuća, jednostrana glavobolja koja, ukoliko se ne liječi, traje između 4 i 72 sata te se često ponavlja. Uz glavobolju, simptomi migrene uključuju mučninu, povraćanje, fotofobiju i fonofobiju, što može značajno ometati svakodnevno funkcioniranje. Migrena značajno umanjuje kvalitetu života u raznim aspektima, uključujući emocionalno zdravlje pojedinca, društvene interakcije i profesionalni život, te predstavlja značajan financijski teret. Ovaj diplomski rad pruža
pregled migrene s posebnim naglaskom na njezin utjecaj na kvalitetu života. Analizirane su različite sfere života koje su pogođene ovim stanjem te su detaljno opisane različite skale za procjenu migrene, kao što su MIBS-4, MSQv2.1 i MIDAS.
Cilj ovog rada je unaprijediti prepoznavanje migrene i poboljšati kvalitetu života oboljelih.
