Safe Migraine Management for Expectant and New Mothers

Research Summary

Migraine management during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and for women planning pregnancy presents unique challenges, as detailed in the review published in Cephalalgia. Women with migraines, especially those experiencing aura, have a higher risk of complications such as preeclampsia, stroke, and preterm birth, necessitating careful monitoring. Non-pharmacological treatments like lifestyle changes and behavioral therapies are prioritized during pregnancy, with non-invasive neuromodulation as a possible option. However, severe migraines might require cautious pharmacological intervention, emphasizing medication safety. During breastfeeding, minimizing infant exposure is key, while maintaining maternal migraine control. An individualized approach is vital to ensure maternal and fetal health.
