Strategic directions in the management of women with migraine attacks during pregnancy
The paper analyzes the data available in the literature on the topic: migraine attacks during pregnancy and strategic approaches to managing women with migraine during this period. It shows the relevance of diagnosis and therapy in women with migraine attacks during pregnancy. The main management principles for this category of patients are non-drug interventions, behavioral recommendations, safe and effective headache attack relief, and, if necessary, preventive therapy. This can significantly reduce disadaptation and improve quality of life in women during this period. Further investigations are needed to determine effective and safe therapeutic approaches in the presence of headache attacks in women with migraine during pregnancy.Ekusheva E.V.
