To assess the prevalence of headache in post-menopausal women.
Women attending gynecology outpatient services in the coastal region of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil were invited to participate in this study. Only those with non-surgical menopause and no hormone replacement therapy were included. Prevalence and characterization of headaches were assessed, as well as the burden of migraine, traits of anxiety and depression, and menopausal symptomatology.
One hundred and three women were included in the study. Migraine affected 14.7% of them. Some previous type of headache was reported by 86.2% of the women, most of whom improved during menopause but still presented with headache attacks. There was a correlation between higher migraine disability and depressive traits.
Many women believe that their headaches, particularly migraine, will end after menopause. This is, unfortunately, not the case for many of them.
评估绝经后女性头痛的患病率。
邀请在巴西圣保罗州沿海地区妇科门诊就诊的女性参与本研究。仅纳入非手术绝经且未接受激素替代疗法的女性。评估头痛的患病率和特征，以及偏头痛的负担、焦虑和抑郁特征、绝经症状。
103名女性纳入研究。其中14.7%患有偏头痛。86.2%的女性报告曾有过某种类型的头痛，其中大多数在绝经期间有所改善，但仍有头痛发作。偏头痛残疾程度较高与抑郁特征之间存在相关性。
许多女性认为她们的头痛，尤其是偏头痛，在绝经后会结束。不幸的是，对她们中的许多人来说并非如此。
