Menstrual migraine (MM) is a menstrually related disorder (MRD) characterized by several symptoms in common with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It has been hypothesized that in both MM and PMS hormonal cyclicity could change the balance of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators like monoamine and opioid. In this article we analyze all the data collected by our group on the central opioid tonus and the adrenergic and serotonergic systems in patients affected by menstrual migraine.
