Resumo: | ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Migraine is a highly prevalent disorder among adult females, being that very often these patients have crises during the menstrual cycle. On the other hand, some studies have described menstrual cycle synchrony in females living together. No study has described whether there would also be migraine crisis synchrony among these females. This study aimed at reporting the case of a patient with migraine episodes synchronized with the menstrual cycle of her companion, discussing possible involved triggering factors. CASE REPORT: Female patient, 50 years old, menopausal for at least one year, with history of migraine without aura according to International Headache Society’s criteria, with typically migraine headache crises during her companion’s menstrual cycle. Patient was evaluated for 3 months by the pain diary, including frequency of headache crises, intensity of crises, drug doses and triggering factors for crises, in addition to follicle exfoliating hormone and estradiol dosing in different periods of the month. Patient had headache crises during her companion’s menstrual cycle with no evidence of other associated factors (diet, sleep deprivation, stress). Patient’s level of stimulating follicle hormone varied throughout the month, according to companion’s menstrual cycle. CONCLUSION: There is no consensus with regard to menstrual cycle synchrony among females. However, we believe that this report could be a step further for the development of further studies on such a complex subject. |
