    Objective: Migraine-related pain is not only an unpleasant experience, but also has negative effects on all aspects of life. Although some disability parameters were handled in migraineurs, differential effects of migraine on hand dexterity, dynamic balance and balance-related lower extremity muscle strength and endurance have not been reported yet. The aim of this study was to explore the functionality and disability levels of migraine patients. Design: A cross-sectional study Setting: Mustafa Kemal University, Tayfur Ata Sokmen Medicine Faculty (Department of Neurology, Headache Clinic) and School of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Hatay, Turkey Subjects: Forty volunteers aged between 18-55 years who were diagnosed with migraine and 40 age and gender-matched migraine-free individuals Intervention: In addition to the questionnaire including demographic information, emotional status, pain intensity and the effects of pain on daily life, fine hand dexterity, strength and endurance of lower extremity and balance were analyzed. Main Outcome Measures: Migraine Disability Assessment Scale, Nine Hole Peg Test, Four Step Square Test, 11 Step Stair Climbing Test and Beck Depression Inventory Results: It was determined that fine hand dexterity and coordination and dynamic balance functions of migraine-diagnosed individuals were significantly affected compared to the migraine-free participants (P<.001, P<0.000). In terms of lower extremity muscle strength and endurance, it was found that they were not different from migraine-free individuals (P>.05). Conclusions: The migraine patients' needs and preferences regarding functionality should be taken into consideration by neurologists and physiotherapists while planning and deciding treatment according to desired goals.
