Abstract
Migraine is a pathology predominant in women;
being 2 to 3 times more prevalent than in men. It’s frequently
associated with physiological changes in ovarian steroids levels,
during the menstrual cycle and in menopause. Despite this strong
association, few studies have examined the mechanism through the
ovarian steroids influence the neural system in migraines.
Clinical data demonstrate that high levels of estrogens increase
the probability of having migraine. Paradoxically the sudden
descent of estrogens during menstruation increases the
probability of having a migraine attack.
Key words: Migraine, Oral anticonceptives.
