title: [Headache and oral contraceptives (selective study of 159 cases)].
abstract: Based on a series of 159 cases of headache during oral contraception, the authors confirm the part plainly favouring and aggravating of oral contraceptives on headaches. They are dominated by the frequency of migraines and happen with predilection at the time of hormonal weaning. We deduct from this, that oral contraceptives generally aggravate or reveal a latent sensitivity to hormonal variations, especially clear with older women.
