Managing Migraine in Pregnancy: The Power of Neuromodulation

In this episode, we explore the critical intersection of maternal-fetal medicine, neurology, and obstetric care to address a frequently misunderstood condition: migraine during pregnancy. Dr. Michele Godorecci, Dr. Jolene Seibel-Seamon, and Dr. Deena Kuruvilla break down why a migraine is far more than "just a headache" it is a complex systemic disease that, when left unchecked, can escalate maternal blood pressure, increase risks for preeclampsia, and restrict fetal growth. The experts discuss the intense anxiety many pregnant women face regarding pharmaceutical treatments, and they introduce groundbreaking clinical perspectives on non-medication strategies. Discover the safety, convenience, and clinical efficacy of FDA-cleared neuromodulation devices, wearable technology that targets pain pathways directly without placental drug transfer, offering an empowering new blueprint for personalized prenatal care. Management of migraine in pregnancy typically combines lifestyle strategies, nonpharmacologic approaches, selected pharmacologic options when benefits outweigh risks, and, increasingly, noninvasive neuromodulation technologies.
