Background: Migraine and generalized anxiety disorder are common conditions among medical students. However, few studies have explored the frequency of their coexistence or the relationship between the two on an international level, and none at the national level. Objective: To determine the relationship between symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and migraine in medical students. Methods and Materials: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. Sixth- and seventh-year medical students were invited to participate in the survey. Data collections were conducted through Google Forms. The questionnaire included sociodemographic factors, family history, the ALCOI-95 questionnaire, and the GAD-7 questionnaire. The ALCOI-95 questionnaire classified students into "non-migraine," "migraine without aura," or "migraine with aura". The GAD-7 questionnaire classified students based on the severity of symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. Results: A response rate of 54.15% was achieved. Forty-seven students (27.81%) had migraine, of which 22 (13.02%) had migraine without aura, and 25 (14.79%) had migraine with aura. Sixty-one students (36.09%) had minimal symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder, 70 (41.42%) had mild symptoms, 27 (15.98%) had moderate symptoms, and 11 (6.51%) had severe symptoms. A statistically significant relationship was found between migraine and generalized anxiety disorder symptoms (p=0.0001). Conclusion: The study found a statistically significant relationship between migraine and symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder in medical students.
