Abstract
About 60% of women report menstrual-associated migraine attacks, characterized by a higher intensity and duration and more pronounced treatment resistance. Often, preventive treatment with drugs aimed to relieve menstrual attacks – non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and triptans – is difficult in these patients due to a high risk of medication-overuse headache. In addition, due to a hormonal trigger – a perimenstrual decrease in estrogen – the effect of hormonal contraceptives on migraine attacks has been studied for a long time. This article discusses the results of studies indicating the successful administration of specific hormone therapy regimens, especially in patients with concomitant gynecological pathology or in patients using these drugs for contraception.
