Migraine is the second most common headache condition next to tension-type headache. Up to one fourth of all women have migraine, and 20% of them experience migraine without aura attack in at least two thirds of their menstrual cycles. The current literature is analyzed in response to the question of whether menstrual and nonmenstrual migraine attacks are different. The different studies provide conflicting results, so it is not possible to answer the question firmly. Future studies should be based on the general population. Collection of both prospective and retrospective data is warranted, and headache diagnosis base on interviews by physicians with interest in headache are more precise than lay interviews or questionnaires.
偏头痛是仅次于紧张型头痛的第二大常见头痛疾病。多达四分之一的女性患有偏头痛，其中 20%的女性在至少三分之二的月经周期中经历无先兆偏头痛发作。目前的文献分析是为了回答月经性和非月经性偏头痛发作是否不同的问题。不同的研究提供了相互矛盾的结果，因此无法确定地回答这个问题。未来的研究应该基于普通人群。有必要收集前瞻性和回顾性数据，并且由对头痛感兴趣的医生进行的访谈来诊断头痛比由非专业人员访谈或问卷调查更准确。
