Migraine in men may go unrecognized because it can present differently than it does in women. As a result, some men may endure symptoms for longer than necessary. The role of testosterone is raised as a possible factor, but the available information does not establish a cause.
A new migraine-prevention guideline from the US neurology association focuses on identifying patients who could benefit from preventive care. It includes people with migraine on four or more days a month, those with moderate-to-severe headaches on four days a month, and patients whose migraine has a particularly strong impact on their lives.
Neurologist Lars Neeb described the guideline as clear and well organized, with good recommendations.
