Treatment of migraine during pregnancy and lactation.
Migraine onset, frequency and severity are influenced by hormonal changes throughout the various female reproductive life events, including pregnancy. Migraine may worsen during the first trimester, but usually improves thereafter. The treatment of migraine during pregnancy and lactation is difficult because of the risks to the fetus and newborn. This paper reviews migraine throughout the female reproductive life events, as well as the acute and prophylactic treatment of the pregnant and lactating migraineur.
