Menstrual migraine: a distinct disorder needing greater recognition

Kjersti Grotta Vetvik et al.

Summary: Menstrual migraine, associated with menstruation, affects about 20-25% of female migraineurs and remains poorly understood in terms of pathophysiology. Perimenstrual attacks are more severe and treatment responses vary. Further research is needed to improve understanding and treatment strategies for this common and debilitating condition.

Comparing Perimenstrual and Nonperimenstrual Migraine Attacks Using an e-Diary

Daphne S. van Casteren et al.

Summary: The study compared characteristics of perimenstrual and nonperimenstrual migraine attacks in women, finding that perimenstrual attacks were associated with longer duration, higher recurrence risk, increased triptan use, higher headache intensity, decreased pain coping, more pronounced photophobia and phonophobia. Additionally, women with menstrually related migraine are at risk of medication overuse in the long term treatment process.
