\u00a0According to a recent study,\u00a0women\u00a0bear a significant amount of the migraine burden due to the higher prevalence of estrogen and other\u00a0<\/span>sex<\/span>\u00a0hormones.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To decrease the substantial health and economic burden of a migraine on individuals and society, researchers at the Society for Women’s Health Research addressed how the disease differs between\u00a0women\u00a0and men.
\nMigraine\u00a0is three times more common in\u00a0women\u00a0than men, reaching peak prevalence between ages 30-39, at a time when many\u00a0women\u00a0are balancing work, family, and social obligations. Women are more likely to experience longer and more intense migraine attacks and report more migraine-associated symptoms and comorbid conditions.
\nFor example,\u00a0sex\u00a0hormones like estrogen play a large role in the development of migraine and are likely contributors to observed\u00a0sex\u00a0differences in the disease.
\nIn addition,\u00a0women\u00a0and men seek and receive treatment for migraine differently, with\u00a0women\u00a0more likely to consult a health care provider. This could be because\u00a0womentypically experience worse symptoms or because the feminization of the migraine makes men hesitant to seek help. Recognizing these gender differences can help overcome patient and provider bias in the diagnosis and treatment of migraine.
\nDespite the clear differences in migraine between\u00a0women\u00a0and men, research exploring these differences has been limited.
\nInnovation in migraine has been slow. Until earlier this year, no treatments designed specifically to prevent migraine had come onto the market in more than 50 years. To promote advancement in migraine research and patient care, the research identified gaps in knowledge and prioritizes areas that warrant further attention in order to improve health outcomes for both\u00a0women\u00a0and men. Priority areas include:
\n-Increasing awareness of migraine to better identify and treat the disease
\n-Enhancing quality-of-life measures by improving the assessment of disability and understanding of migraine’s impact on workplace productivity
\n-Destigmatizing migraine to increase rates of those seeking and continuing care
\n-Expanding current animal models, including increasing use of female animals, to learn more about\u00a0sex\u00a0differences at the basic research level
\nThe findings appeared in the Journal of Women’s Health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
