Abstract: | Abstract Migraine without aura is typically considered a female condition. The purpose of this study was to determine if there have
been any changes in the female-to-male ratio of the disease over time. We included in the study all patients with migraine
without aura (n=3457) referred to the Parma University Headache Centre between 1976 and 1995. They were divided into subgroups with respect
to gender and year-range of onset of migraine (before 1960, in the 1960s, in the 1970s, in the 1980s, and between 1990 and
1995). Gender ratio ranged from 3.6:1 (in patients with onset before 1960) to 2.8:1 (in patients with onset in the 1980s),
with no statistically significant changes during the observation period. |
