    AbstractMore than 20 million US women suffer with migraine, two thirds of whom experience menstrually related migraine.

Accurate diagnosis is key to initiating effective treatment, and when acute therapy fails, the unique predictability of menstrual migraine lends itself to preventative treatment.
