In contrast with migraine, little is known about the relation between cluster headache and menstrual cycle, oral contraceptives, pregnancy, and menopause. A population based questionnaire study was performed among 224 female cluster headache patients, and the possible effect of hormonal influences on cluster headache attacks studied. For control data, a similar but adjusted questionnaire was sent to healthy volunteers and migraine patients. It was found that menstruation, use of oral contraceptives, pregnancy, and menopause had a much smaller influence on cluster headache attacks than in migraine. Cluster headache can, however, have a large impact on individual women, for example to refrain from having children.
与偏头痛不同,关于丛集性头痛与月经周期、口服避孕药、怀孕及绝经之间的关系,人们了解甚少。我们对224名女性丛集性头痛患者进行了一项基于人群的问卷调查研究,并探讨了激素影响对丛集性头痛发作的可能作用。为获取对照数据,我们向健康志愿者和偏头痛患者发放了一份类似但经过调整的问卷。结果发现,月经、口服避孕药的使用、怀孕及绝经对丛集性头痛发作的影响远小于对偏头痛的影响。然而,丛集性头痛可能会对个别女性产生重大影响,比如导致她们避免生育。
