Quality of life in women with migraine: a systematic review

Rev. Headache Med. (Online); 15 (4), 2024
Publication year: 2024

Introduction:

Several chronic diseases interfere with quality of life (QoL), including migraine, especially in women who are the most affected. However, effective therapeutic interventions are capable of modifying the disease.

Objective:

Our objective was to review the literature on QoL in women with migraine, before and after treatment.

Methods:

This study was a systematic review of clinical trials on migraine in women and QoL published between November 2019 and October 2024. The research was carried out in the online database PubMed, using the descriptors “migraine in women” and “quality of life”.

Results:

Eight articles were analyzed. They described 1,337 women with migraine aged 18 to 50 years. There was an improvement in QoL after therapeutic intervention, both drug and non-drug.

Conclusions:

Women with migraine have their QoL impaired, but therapeutic interventions can modify the disease. (AU)
