Between and within-woman differences in the association between menstruation and migraine days.

This study supports previous research and demonstrates that the odds of migraine days are elevated from day -2 to day +3 of the menstrual cycle. We also show that the effect of menses on migraine days varies more within-woman than between-women. This work provides an initial foundation for better understanding menstrual-related migraine from the perspective of the individual patient. PMID: 33605450 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
