Influência hormonal na enxaqueca

Influência hormonal na enxaqueca

Abstract

A enxaqueca é uma das doenças neurológicas mais frequentes e associa-se a um grande impacto a nível pessoal, social e económico nos países desenvolvidos. Os estudos epidemiológicos revelam que é aproximadamente três vezes mais frequente durante os anos correspondentes ao período reprodutivo da mulher do que nos homens com a mesma idade. Por outro lado, parecem existir alterações importantes na evolução da doença durante a menarca, o período menstrual, a gravidez e a menopausa. Estes factos fazem antever uma possível associação entre as hormonas sexuais femininas e a enxaqueca. Objectivos e Métodos Com o objectivo de reunir a evidência científica existente sobre esta hipotética relação e estudar possíveis estratégias terapêuticas, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica com base no modelo dos “5 S” de Haynes (Systems, Summaries, Synopses, Synthesis and Studies). Conclusão Apesar dos escassos estudos realizados, as flutuações hormonais e, particularmente, a privação de estrogénios, surgem hoje como factores associados a uma evolução desfavorável na enxaqueca sem aura. Esta constatação tem levado ao desenvolvimento de novas estratégias terapêuticas baseadas na profilaxia hormonal, que poderão assumir no futuro um lugar de destaque na orientação das mulheres com enxaqueca associada a flutuações hormonais e resistentes às terapêuticas convencionais.

Migraine is one of the most common neurological diseases and is associated with a great personal, social and economic impact in developed countries. Epidemiological studies show that migraine is three times more common in women during the reproductive years than in men with the same age. On the other hand, there appear to be important changes in the evolution of the disease during menarche, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. These factors may anticipate the possible association between female sex hormones and migraine. Objectives and Methods In order to gather the existing scientific evidence on this hypothetical relationship and to study possible therapeutic strategies, a literature research was performed based on the “5 S“ model of Haynes (Systems, Summaries, Synopses, Synthesis and Studies). Conclusion Although few studies have been performed, hormonal fluctuations, and particularly estrogen withdrawal, appear today as factors associated with an unfavorable outcome in migraine without aura. This finding has led to the development of new therapeutic strategies based on hormonal prophylaxis, which could take in the future a place in therapeutic management of women with migraine associated with hormonal fluctuations and resistant to conventional therapies.
