Preventative treatment of menstrual migraine. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • More than 20 million US women suffer with migraine, two thirds of whom experience menstrually related migraine. Estrogen plays an important role in triggering migraine, and given the numerous hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman's lifetime, there are many opportunities for a hormonal impact. Accurate diagnosis is key to initiating effective treatment, and when acute therapy fails, the unique predictability of menstrual migraine lends itself to preventative treatment.
