What is Predictability of Exogenous Hormone Effect on Subgroups of Migraineurs about?
## Objective: To evaluate whether self-reported past migraine response to reproductive life events (menses, pregnancy, menopause) alters the likelihood of worsening of migraine with exogenous hormone use. ## Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 451 female patients at the university headache center who had a diagnosis of migraine with or without aura. ## Results: The majority of migraineurs recalled no change in headaches with oral contraceptive use or hormone replacement therapy (67.2% and 77%, respectively). worsening of migraines with oral contraceptive use was associated with a menstrual trigger, worsening during pregnancy, and a diagnosis of migraine without aura. worsening with hormone replacement therapy was associated with worsening during prior oral contraceptive use, improvement during pregnancy, worsening during menopause, and a diagnosis of migraine without aura. ## Conclusions: Prospective studies are needed to confirm these associations.
