Routine Migraine Screening: Essential for Women's Health Care

Research Summary

A new position statement from the American Headache Society, published in Headache, advocates for routine migraine screening as part of standard care in women's health. The statement highlights that migraines are often underdiagnosed and undertreated, despite their high prevalence and significant impact. By incorporating yearly diagnostic screening for migraines, healthcare providers can ensure more women receive timely and effective management. The statement underscores that migraines are particularly common among girls and women from adolescence through menopause. With reliable screening tools and effective treatments available, including migraine assessments in preventive healthcare could lessen the condition's economic and social burdens.
