Abstract

Despite emerging treatments for migraine, there are limited treatments available for pregnant women. There is a lack of research available to guide treatment because of the risk of possible harm to the pregnant woman and the fetus. However, migraines tend to improve in the majority of women during pregnancy because of the steady increase in estrogen level. This paper serves as a mini-review of migraine in pregnancy and we will discuss the management of migraines, secondary headache disorders that can mimic migraines during pregnancy, and future directions.
