People with migraines use a range of management strategies, which include pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. The aim of this study was to explore individuals&#x2019; experiences and perceptions of migraines and its treatment using the Common-Sense Model (CSM) of Illness Representations.MethodsSemi-structured, one-to-one interviews were conducted with eleven individuals with a history of migraine to explore their experiences and perceptions of migraine and its treatment. Participants were recruited from across the United Kingdom via convenience sampling using social media advertisement. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and qualitative data were analysed using theoretical framework analysis using the CSM.ResultsThe three dimensions of the CSM were mapped on to the qualitative data. These were: (i) Cognitive representations of migraine, within five domains: (a) identity of migraine, (b) perceived causes, (c) perceived timeline, (d) perceived control/cure, and (e) perceived consequences; (ii) Emotional representations of migraine relating to (a) migraine specific emotions and (b) emotional representation of the impact of migraine; and (iii) Coping/self-management behaviours, namely (a) self-medicating behaviours and (b) care-seeking behaviours. No incongruous data were found; therefore, no further thematic analysis was required.ConclusionThis is the first study to apply the CSM to migraine for framework analysis of qualitative data in this way.
