Menstrual Migraines (Hormone Headaches or a period headache) is a migraine that happens before or during your menstrual cycle. The symptoms are worse than a traditional headache, with throbbing or pulsing head pain, light sensitivity and nausea. Hormonal changes cause these migraine headaches.

Period headaches relate to changes in estrogen levels. Levels of estrogen drop immediately before the start of your menstrual flow (menses).

Premenstrual migraines regularly occur during or after the time when the hormones, estrogen and progesterone, drop to their lowest levels. Significant changes to your hormones can influence headaches.

If menstrual migraines are cramping your style, it’s time to let your voice be heard by others who understand. By participating in clinical research, you can help advance understanding of menstrual migraine.
