ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Migraine, a frequent and debilitating neurological disease, shows gender-specific differences in prevalence and severity. Pregnancy is associated with numerous unique features in terms of migraine course, treatment options and differential diagnoses.OBJECTIVES:
How does pregnancy influence the course of migraine? What are the possible treatment options during pregnancy? Which differential diagnoses should be considered? MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Narrative review with summary and discussion of relevant studies and guidelines on migraine in pregnancy.RESULTS:
During pregnancy up to three quarters of women experience improvement of their migraine; however, there may be a renewed increase in frequency after childbirth. Choosing an appropriate treatment during pregnancy requires a careful risk-benefit assessment. It is important to consider secondary causes of headache as these can occur more frequently during pregnancy and some can be life-threatening.CONCLUSION:
Consideration of specific aspects of migraine in pregnancy is crucial to be able to develop the best possible treatment strategies for affected patients.Palavras-chave
