"Migraine is about twice as common in women as in men, and it is especially prevalent during the reproductive years. Migraine attacks are reduced in frequency during pregnancy, but whether this relatively protected state is maintained during breastfeeding is unsettled. Although there is no evidence that migraine interferes directly with lactation or that breastfeeding per se exacerbates migraine, maternal sleep deprivation can exacerbate migraine.
Migraine therapy can be divided into preventative and abortive measures. In addition to healthy lifestyle habits, nondrug approaches are the preventative measures of choice. These include various mind–body strategies such as relaxation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, biofeedback, stress management, meditation, and yoga.1 If these measures are inadequate, drug therapy is often used. This column provides an overview of migraine drug therapy during breastfeeding. For more detailed information and references on specific drugs, see the corresponding records in the LactMed database."
