CGRP and Women’s Health: Migraine Across the Hormonal Lifespan

Drs. Kuruvilla and Chandwani discuss migraine as a key women’s health issue driven largely by estrogen fluctuations across a woman’s lifespan, influencing CGRP, serotonin, sleep, and comorbid pain conditions from menstruation through perimenopause and menopause. These experts emphasize individualized, interdisciplinary care that combines CGRP-targeted preventives, hormonal strategies, integrative medicine (eg, acupuncture, supplements), and lifestyle and sleep optimization to improve quality of life.
