Sex hormone profiles in men with migraine: a cross-sectional, matched cohort study
Our findings indicate higher progesterone levels and lower E2/P ratios in healthy men compared to those with migraine, suggesting a potential association between sex hormone profiles and migraine in men. These results warrant further investigation into the hormonal modulation of migraine beyond the female population.
