    The study included 200 migraine patients and 110 healthy controls to assess the relationship between chronotype and migraine-related disability.

  • 2

    Migraine patients reported poorer sleep quality compared to controls, with chronic migraine patients exhibiting the highest disability scores.

  • 3

    No significant difference in chronotype distribution was found between migraine patients and healthy controls.

  • 4

    Morning chronotypes had lower migraine disability scores compared to intermediate and evening types, though differences were not statistically significant.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that while chronotype does not correlate with migraine-related disability, poor sleep quality is prevalent among migraine patients.
