Abstract
Migraine is a common pathology in women. Migraine disease is well defined by the International Headache Society and has to be distinguished from others types of headaches. The occurrence of migraine attacks is frequently linked to the menstrual cycle. Many studies have related a connexion with hormonal fluctuations and migraine event. Migraine with aura is currently identified as a stroke risk factor and this risk dramatically increases in case of oestroprogestative pill intake and smoking. The World Health Organization established guidelines about oestroprogestative intake in case of migraine while strictly contraindicating oestroprogestative intake in patients with migraine with aura. This review explains the influence of different contraceptive intake, oral contraceptive regimens, and type of oestrogen in oestroprogestative contraceptive on migraine occurrence.
