Abstract

The article examines gender-specific differences in migraine, noting that women often experience more severe and prolonged attacks influenced by hormonal changes throughout their life stages, including puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. It discusses treatment strategies for menstrual and menstrual-related migraine, emphasizing the effectiveness of CGRP-targeted therapies and considerations for women on oral contraceptives.
