Research Summary
A recent study published in the Journal of Headache and Pain delves into the clinical characteristics and social burden of menstrual migraine (MM) among Japanese women. The research, based on a web survey of over 9,700 participants, found that MM sufferers experience greater pain intensity, longer pain duration, and higher headache frequency during the perimenstrual period compared to those with non-menstrual migraines. MM also leads to increased disability and reduced quality of life, as indicated by higher scores on several migraine impact assessments. Additionally, MM patients reported higher medication usage, particularly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, highlighting the significant impact of MM on daily life.
