Abstract

The effect of treatment with percutaneous E(2) (100 μg/24 h) during 2 weeks perimenstrually on the number and severity of menstrual migraine attacks was studied in 27 women in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover trial. We were not able to demonstrate any difference between E(2) supplementation and placebo on the number or severity of migraine attacks, but both regimens showed significant effects compared with before treatment. CLINICAL TRIAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: NCT00204074.
