Headache in individuals undergoing hormone therapy for gender transition: A cross‐sectional, observational study
Estrogen-based GAHT was associated with a higher proportion of individuals reporting new or worsening headaches, whereas testosterone-based GAHT was more often associated with headache improvement. These associations underscore the need for further research into how GAHT modulates headache patterns, as well as the high rate of underdiagnosed headache disorders in this population.
