Gender and Migraine

This book focuses on the influence of sex and gender in migraine, presenting new insights in basic science as well as their clinical relevance.  As migraine is roughly three times more common in women than in men, and also highly depends on hormonal milestones - such as menarche, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause - particular attention is devoted to the role of female sex hormones in this disease.  As the first book entirely devoted to this topic, it will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of neurology, internalmedicine, endocrinology, physiology and pharmacology.
