Abstract
PIP: Women with tension headaches or migraine headaches without aura can use oral contraceptives (OCs) and other hormonal methods without concern. The use of combined OCs by women with severe, recurrent headaches with focal neurologic symptoms (including migraine headaches with aura) is contraindicated, however. It has been suggested that women with migraine headaches are at increased risk of stroke while taking OCs, but no data have been collected to support this contention.
