The peak prevalence of migraine occurs in women of reproductive age, and women experience a higher burden of migraine symptoms and disability compared to men. This increased burden of migraine in women is related to both developmental and temporally variable activational effects of female sex hormones. Changing levels of female sex hormones affect the expression of migraine during pregnancy, and, to a lesser degree, lactation, and are the mechanism underlying menstrual migraine. This review describes the evidence for sex differences in the expression of migraine across the reproductive epoch; reviews the epidemiology of migraine during pregnancy, lactation, and menses; and summarizes the available evidence for safety and efficacy of acute treatments during pregnancy and lactation and for menstrual migraine. Areas of controversy in treatment of migraine during pregnancy, including the use of magnesium, triptans vs butalbital combination medications, and onabotulinum toxin, are also explored.

Migraine is a neurovascular disease with recurrent headache attacks. A polymorphism (rs2651899) of the PRDM16 gene, which is associated with migraine, was identified in recent genome‐wide association studies. The potential role of the PRDM16 rs2651899 polymorphism in migraine is still unknown. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta‐analysis to examine this issue.

Migraine and stroke are among the most prevalent and disabling neurological diseases. Epidemiologic studies showed that there is an association between migraine and stroke. Migraineurs, especially those with aura, are more likely to develop subclinical infarct‐like lesions in the brain and are at risk for cryptogenic or cardioembolic stroke. Migrainous headache can be found at the onset of acute ischemic stroke in some patients, and in rare instances, an infarction can be directly attributed to a prolonged migraine aura, ie, migrainous infarction. Importantly, recent studies suggest that in the event of cerebral artery occlusion, even a history of migraine is sufficient to accelerate infarct progression and worsen outcomes. The mechanisms underlying the migraine‐stroke connection are multifactorial, with genetic predisposition, aura‐related electrophysiological mechanisms (cortical spreading depolarization), and cerebral microembolism being the most convincing ones at this point. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview on recent imaging studies that have helped us better understand the complex association between migraine and stroke.

Dental pain is the most common acute pain presenting in the orofacial region; however, chronic pain conditions are also frequent and include; temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs), primary headaches (neurovascular pain), painful post‐traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PPTTN) and less commonly referred pain and idiopathic or centralized pain conditions. All of these conditions can mimic toothache and vice versa. Many of these conditions are comorbid with high levels of tension headache and migraine reported in patients with TMD; however, dentists remain unfamiliar with headaches and medics unfamiliar with toothache's multiple presentations. The anatomical complexity of the region, the potential exhaustive differential diagnoses and the multiple siloed training of specialties, leads to incorrect and delayed diagnosis and often results in patients undergoing inappropriate surgical and medical treatments. The continued inappropriate interventions may also complicate the later presentation of the patient with pain, by changing its phenotype, preventing a timely and correct diagnosis. Due to the variable presentation of toothache, which can mimic many different chronic pains including; episodic throbbing pain of migraine, the dull continuous pain of myofascial and arthrogenous TMDs or centralized facial pain, diagnosis can be complex. Neuralgic pain occurs in the dentition in health and with disease, mimicking conditions like PPTTN, trigeminal neuralgia (TN), and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs), many patients are inappropriately diagnosed and treated, either by general medical practitioners assuming that the neuralgia is due to TN rather than more commonly presenting toothache or by a dentists or other surgeons continuing to treat TN or TACs with routine surgical care. Many patients are prescribed countless courses of antibiotics and undergo multiple surgical interventions simply as a result of poor education due to siloed specialty training. This must be addressed to improve patient safety.

Tolosa‐Hunt syndrome (THS), a condition characterized by painful ophthalmoplegia and accompanied by cranial nerve palsies, remains as a diagnosis of exclusion. Nevertheless, the 3rd Edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) has refined its diagnostic criteria to require the demonstration of granulomatous inflammation on magnetic resonance imaging or biopsy. We sought to assess the effectiveness of the new criteria in arriving at accurate diagnoses.

The secondary aims were to evaluate the frequency of an incorrect diagnosis of “cervical arthrosis” in patients unaware of having migraine and to compare the clinical features, diagnostic investigation, and treatment strategies between the 2 subgroups of migraineurs, that is, those with and without the incorrect diagnosis of “cervical arthrosis.”
