Way of Management

12.  The migraine students were not interviewed by neurologist for confirmation of
migraine diagnosis.
 In addition, the use of a self-administered questionnaire might create a
misunderstanding of some asked questions with the risk of subjectivity in the
answers.
 The sample size in this survey was small, and was certainly not representative of the
total population in the study area
Limitation
