        "abstract": "Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of migraines among healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), identify associated factors and evaluate their impact on quality of life (QoL) and work performance. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January to June 2022 and included nurses and doctors across 4 healthcare settings in the UAE. Migraine prevalence was assessed using the Migraine Screen Questionnaire, while its impact on social support and work function was evaluated through the Migraine Disability Assessment, the Oslo Social Support Scale and the Headache Impact Test. Data were analysed using Chi-square tests, binary logistic regression and multivariable logistic regression. Results: A total of 440 nurses and doctors were included. Migraine prevalence among participants was 18.2%. The likelihood of experiencing migraines was significantly higher among females (odds ratio [OR] = 2.99, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1–7.9), individuals with a family history of migraines (OR = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.1–4.3), those reporting stress (OR = 5.87, 95% CI: 2.9–11.8), sleep deprivation (OR = 4.38, 95% CI: 1.9–9.8), motion sickness (OR = 5.06, 95% CI: 1.7–15.5) and specific food triggers (OR = 11.29, 95% CI: 3.1–41.2). Participants with migraines reported significantly higher rates of disability (29.1% versus 3.4%; P"
