Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology
|August 4, 2018
Summary
Migraines significantly impact women, especially during hormonal changes like pregnancy. This review details evaluating and treating migraines during pregnancy and lactation, considering safety for the fetus.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Obstetrics & Gynecology
Background:
- Migraines affect 18% of women, often worsened by hormonal fluctuations.
- Many individuals with migraines lack proper diagnosis and treatment.
- Migraine significantly diminishes quality of life and causes missed workdays.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the evaluation and treatment of migraines in pregnant and lactating women.
- To address the complexities of managing migraines during pregnancy due to hormonal shifts and medication risks.
- To provide guidance on safe and effective migraine management strategies for this population.
Main Methods:
- Literature review focusing on headache evaluation during pregnancy.
- Analysis of treatment options for migraines considering fetal safety.
- Synthesis of current recommendations for managing migraines in pregnant and lactating women.
Main Results:
- Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy and lactation can alter migraine patterns.
- Increased risk of secondary headache conditions necessitates careful evaluation.
- Treatment options are limited by potential risks to the fetus and infant.
Conclusions:
- Effective management of migraines during pregnancy and lactation requires careful consideration of maternal and fetal well-being.
- Understanding the impact of hormonal changes is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
- This review offers a framework for the workup and treatment of migraines in this vulnerable population.

545
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder that predominantly affects individuals of Northern European descent, occurring at a rate of 1 in 3500. It is caused by a genetic mutation in a gene on chromosome 7, most commonly the ΔF508 mutation, that codes for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. This results in thicker mucus secretions and obstruction pathologies in multiple organs, including the lungs and sinuses.
