Education on Migraine in Pregnant Women

The primary aim of the study is to educate pregnant women experiencing migraine, leading to their understanding of the underlying pathology, management strategies and alarm symptoms. The target population are pregnant women suffering from migraine in prenatal follow-up in Clínica Alemana (Santiago, Chile). Included as a secondary target population are the obstetricians following these patients. The investigators propose to design an educational intervention. The investigators will develop education material about migraine in Spanish and the study team will work using social media and some basic material on paper. The investigators will educate first obstetricians of the institution (Clínica Alemana de Santiago) and will work with the obstetricians in the recruitment of patients (according to International Classification of Headache Diseases-3 (ICHD-3) criteria. Secondly, among patients who consent, three educational interventions will be apply along their pregnancy, considering topics like the knowledge of migraine criteria, management strategies and alarm symptoms. In this project two scores will be measured in pregnant women, both at their first prenatal appointment and at the end of their postpartum period (up to 42 days postpartum). These are: Migraine Disability Assessment questionnaire, and the Brief Illness Perception questionnaire, to evaluate cognitive and emotional representation of illness. Among obstetricians, the investigators will prepare and deliver a short questionnaire with dichotomous questions to evaluate their sense of knowledge regarding migraine, the satisfaction with the study and the importance the obstetricians give to the newly acquired information on daily practice. The project will last 2 years in total, of which patients will be recruited for 18 months.
