Summary

Migraine affects many women during early pregnancy, leading to neuropsychological issues. This study looked at how migraine might impact mental health in pregnant women. It focused on serum calcium levels, which are important for emotional health. Pregnant women often face calcium deficiency, which can worsen mental health symptoms. Researchers compared women with migraines to those without, measuring calcium, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D levels. They found that low serum calcium levels were linked to increased neuropsychological symptoms in migraine patients. This suggests that monitoring calcium levels could be important for pregnant women with migraines. The findings highlight the need for better understanding of how migraines affect mental health during pregnancy. Overall, maintaining healthy calcium levels may help improve the well-being of pregnant women who experience migraines. More research is needed to explore these relationships further and develop effective treatments. Clinical relevance: This study indicates that monitoring calcium levels in pregnant women with migraines could improve mental health outcomes.
