Migraine through puberty and menopausal transition—data from the population-based Norwegian Women and Health study (NOWAC)

Migraines usually resolve during the fifth decade of a woman's life and menstruation cessation does not necessarily equate to migraine cessation, as almost half of the women continued to experience migraines postmenopause, and one in five after 60 years. Migraine symptom persistence in a significant proportion of postmenopausal women underscores the need for continued management and research on the factors influencing migraine prevalence in later life stages.
