8 Menstrual Migraines Subtypes (ICHD-2) Menstrually Related Migraine (MRM) Attacks fulfill criteria for 1.1 Migraine without aura Attacks occur days 1 ± 2 (i.e., days -2 to +3) of menstruation in at least 2 out of 3 menstrual cycles and additionally at other times of the cycle ~46% of women with migraine IHS, Cephalalgia Menstrual Migraines Subtypes (ICHD-2) Pure Menstrual Migraine (MM) Attacks fulfill criteria for 1.1 Migraine without aura Attacks occur days 1 ± 2 (i.e., days -2 to +3) of menstruation in at least 2/3 cycles, and at no other time of the cycle ~14% of women with migraine IHS, Cephalalgia Distribution of Migraine Types in Women 40% non-menstrual migraine 60% menstrual migraine MRM comprises the majority of MM (46% of 60%) MRM 46% Pure MM 14% Non-menstrual Migraine 40% Female Migraineurs MRM = menstrually related migraine; MM = menstrual migraine. Mannix LK, Calhoun AH. Curr Treat Options Neurol
9 Migraines during menses Compared with migraine at other times of the cycle, menstrual attacks are: More severe Longer in duration Less responsive to acute treatment More likely to relapse 25 Non-Hormonal Migraine Triggers Hunger Certain Foods Dehydration Sleep Head and neck pains Emotional Environmental: smoke, bright lights, change in weather Concomitant disease Sex 26 Hormonal Migraine Triggers Estrogen withdrawal, or change in serum level Menstruation Cyclic combined hormonal contraceptives Pregnancy Peri-menopause Hormone replacement therapy 27 9
10 Case 1: Sarah New Patient Visit 24-year-old non-smoker Sexually active On intake: checks off headaches, which she says are worse with her periods Presents for contraception Does Sarah have migraine? Use PIN for Diagnosis of Migraine Photophobia: Does light bother you? Impairment: Do your headaches limit you? Nausea: Do you feel nauseated? Based on Lipton RB, et al. Neurology Case 1: Sarah Accurate diagnosis of migraine aura is essential for the safe prescribing of estrogencontaining OCPs. Sarah has migraine without aura. She has no other risk factors for stroke. OCP = oral contraceptive pills 30 10
11 Case 1: Sarah Is Sarah eligible for estrogen-containing OCPs? A) Yes B) No 31 Case 1: Sarah Is Sarah eligible for estrogen-containing contraceptives? Might she opt for a patch or ring? A) Yes: Low-dose estrogen contraception can be used in women under age 35 who have migraine without aura and no other risk factors for stroke. B) No: OCPs should never be used in women who have migraine. 32 CDC: Headaches and CHC Initiate Continue Non-migrainous (mild or severe) 1 2 Migraine (i) without focal neurologic symptoms Age < Age > (ii) with focal neurologic symptoms 4 4 (at any age) Prodrome = photo/phonophobia, N/V These are not focal Focal symptoms = vision changes, numbness, parasthesias
12 Case 1: Sarah What if Sarah did not need contraception? 34 Treatment of Migraines Education and behavior modification Identify and avoid or modify triggers Acute treatment Prophylactic treatment Short-term Long-term 35 Treatment of Migraines Triptans more effective than NSAIDs and combination analgesics- warn about SEs NSAIDS can act synergistically with Triptans PO or PR phenothiazines helpful in the outpt setting for both nausea and HA pain. Consider non-oral meds w/ nausea & vomiting Sleep often abolishes the headache
13 Options for Acute Therapy Aspirin Ibuprofen Naproxen sodium Combination Analgesics Acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine Triptans Phenothiazines 37 Rescue or Emergency Treatment of Migraine When acute tx fails When H/A returns in <24 hrs or continues for days IV/IM phenothiazines in addition to DHE or a triptan work better than narcotics 38 Prophylaxis of Migraines Consider prophylaxis if acute medications used > 4x/mo, when rescue medications are necessary > 1x/mo, or if headaches are functionally limiting Prophylaxis should be started at low doses and titrated up over 2-3 months TCAs are effective independent of their antidepressant effect Limited studies have shown biofeedback, relaxation training, spinal manipulation and physical therapy as helpful tx
14 Medications for Prophylaxis Consider history, co-morbidities and hormonal state TCAs Beta- blockers- Propranolol most studied and successful Verapamil Gabapentin, Valproate and some of the newer mood stabilizers Hormonal Tx 40 Management Options with Non-pharmacologic Modalities Supplements Magnesium Vitamin B2- riboflavin Feverfew Butterbur Coenzyme Q10 Isoflavones chelated magnesium at mg/d for 3-4 months works as prophylaxis (best in pt. w/ aura or perimenstrual migraine, and those not responding to triptans). Riboflavin, 400mg/d for 3 months decrease migraine frequency. 41 Management Options with Non-pharmacologic Modalities Cognitive/behavioral Modalities Meditation Recognize and Avoid Triggers Headache Diary Physical Modalities Massage Yoga Acupuncture Osteopathic manipulation 42 14
15 Evaluating Migraine Lab tests? Hormone Tests? Cat Scan? Headache Diary 43 Red Flags Headaches begin after age 50 Very sudden onset of Headache First or worst Change in frequency or severity Immunosuppression Fever, stiff neck, rash, trauma Focal neurologic symptoms or signs Papilledema 44 Case 1: Sarah Recommended Approach Migraine diary Counseling about migraine triggers and non-pharmacologic tx options Her choice of hormonal / nonhormonal contraception Acute treatment with triptan Schedule 3 mo f/u to review diary 45 15
16 Case 1: Sarah Return Visit Headache diary confirms MRM: 2 3 attacks/mo. without aura Severe attack during pill-free week What do you do next? Options for Pharmacologic Treatment for MRM Rescue/Emergency treatments IV/IM phenothiazines Prophylactic perimenstrual treatments NSAIDs Supplemental estrogen Triptans Extended-cycle combined hormonal contraception Unclear if usual prophylactic treatments successful in woman with MRM 47 Summary Recommendations: Short-term Prophylactic Treatments for MRM Medication Transdermal estradiol Frovatriptan Naratriptan Levels of evidence 4 RCTs; inconsistent 1 RCT; good 1 RCT; fair Dosing regimen 1.5 mg perimenstruall y 2.5 mg BID permenstrually 1 mg BID perimenstruall y Recommendati on B B B Pringsheim, T. Neurology
17 Prophylactic Treatments for MM and MRM (long-term) Continuous hormonal therapy Without aura Continuous combined contraceptives Dedicated product Monophasic product throw away placebo Continuous cycling with ring Estrogen supplements in hormone-free interval Mircette Yaz Supplemental estrogen 49 Migraine, OCPs, and Stroke 6 per 100,000 / year healthy 12 per 100,000 / year migraine 18 per 100,000 / year migraine with aura 12 per 100,000 / year healthy and COC 19 per 100,000 / year migraine and COC 30 per 100,000 / year migraine with aura and COC 34 per 100,000 / year stroke in pregnancy Attributable risk: 7-19 per 100,000 women per year ~ 4000 / year So, What about OCPs in women with Migraine? IHS: low-dose estrogen in women with simple visual aura ACOG: progestin only, intrauterine or barrier contraception WHO: absolute contraindication in all women with aura 50 Migraine, OCPs, and Stroke Stroke risk is 2-3 fold in migraineurs with aura (MA) Stroke risk is 8-fold in MA plus OCP Absolute risk is low 17-19/year/100,000 women years 4000 / year What about OCPs alone in women with MA? IHS: low-dose oestrogen in women with simple visual aura ACOG: progestin only, intrauterine or barrier contraception WHO: absolute contraindication in all women with aura ACOG, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists; IHS, International Headache Society; WHO, World Health Organization 51 17
18 Prescribing Contraception in Women with Migraines Use a Progesterone Only method with aura Lowest estrogen levels with ring Consider 20 or 25 mcg pills Consider eliminating placebo week in women who have migraines triggered by withdrawal of estrogen Regular follow-up in 1-3 months after initial Rx Stress need to discontinue method if Migraines worsen 52 Case 1: Sarah Treatment and Outcome Change 21-day OCPs to continuous hormonal therapy For symptomatic treatment of migraine, continue standard therapy with triptan Lifestyle modifications More regular meals More sleep Stress-reduction techniques 53 Case 2: Pam 35-year-old woman 6th week of pregnancy Menstrual migraine diagnosed 10 years ago Migraine more frequent and severe since she became pregnant 54 18
19 Migraine and MRM in Pregnancy 60% 70% of migraineurs improve during pregnancy Non-pharmacologic treatment is preferred Biofeedback Relaxation therapy Cognitive-behavioral therapy MacGregor EA. J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care Case 2: Pam Treatment and Outcome Reassurance Migraine may improve by the 2 nd trimester, particularly in women w/ history of menstrual migraine No evidence migraine affects pregnancy outcome Acute Acetaminophen, NSAIDS, Triptans??? (1-2nd trimester- may be safeneed more studies) Prophylactic If possible, delay treatment until 2 nd trimester 56 Case 2: Pam Treatment and Outcome (cont d) Propranolol Can be used postpartum and during lactation (FDA C) Use lowest effective dose Stop 2 to 3 days before delivery Manage with neurologist or headache specialist Nortriptyline is another option (FDA C) 57 19
20 Acute Summary of Managing Migraine During Pregnancy acetaminophen, NSAIDS (1-2 nd trimester), metaclopramide, prochlorperazine, opioids Triptans (?? need more studies) Prevention Delay treatment until 2 nd trimester Very low dose Propranolol or Tricyclic best combination of safety and efficacy can be used postpartum and during lactation 58 Case 3: Hannah 52-year-old woman Presents with headache 5-year history of menstrual migraine and occasional attacks of migraine with aura Hot flashes, mood swings Asks about hormone therapy 59 Menstrual Migraine and Hormone Therapy (HT) Evaluate risk factors for stroke and CAD Migraine aura is not a contraindication to use of HT in low risk women (no RCTs, expert opinion) If aura appears after beginning HT, reduce estrogen and consider changing delivery route If progestin required, continuous delivery best Macgregor EA. Migraine, the menopause and hormone replacement therapy: a clinical review. J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care. 2007;33(4):
21 Case 3: Hannah Treatment and Outcome Low-dose non-oral estradiol AND continuous progestin For symptomatic and prophylactic treatment of migraine, standard prophylactic therapy Hannah s migraine attacks increase when HT is initiated but improve with continued use SSRIs and SNRIs may be useful migraine prophylaxis and help treat hot flashes. 61 Chronic Daily Headache (CDH) Diagnostic Criteria: Headache 15 or more days/month for at least 6 months. Emphasizes why careful medication history is mandatory, Speaks to early use of prophylaxis Depression, anxiety and drug abuse may complicate presentation 1. Cephalalgia. 2004;8 (suppl 1) 2. Bigal ME, et al. Cephalalgia Chronic Daily Headache (CDH) Also Called: rebound headache, chronic tension-type, medication induced, transformed migraine CDH associated with overuse of acute medications. Unrecognized epidemic: majority of referrals to headache clinics Disabling and expensive syndrome 63 21
22 Chronic Daily Headache (CDH) Taper off acute medications May require hospitalization 6 RCTs found significant improvement with Amitriptyline. The longer one has CDH, the harder it is to treat 64 Creating a Supportive Environment Educate patients and entire healthcare team Make adjustments in your office Light Odor/smells Noise Chemical 65 Summary: Behavioral and Lifestyle Modifications Avoid dietary, emotional, and environmental triggers Eat regular, healthful meals Get the right amount of sleep Get regular exercise Learn stress management techniques 66 22
23 Summary: Pharmacologic Treatments Acute treatment (NSAIDs, triptans) Rescue Tx Prophylactic treatment Perimenstrual (NSAIDs, estrogen, triptans) if: --Response to acute treatment is inadequate --Patient has regular, predictable periods Continuous (extended cycle contraception) if: --Patient needs contraception --Patient has irregular periods --Other strategies fail 67 QUESTIONS? 68 Evaluation and Other Forms At the conclusion of session complete: 1.
