Evaluating the Prevalence of Migraine Headache Among Patients With Female-Pattern Baldness

This study evaluated the prevalence of migraine headaches in women with androgenetic alopecia (female-pattern baldness) compared to a control group without the condition, involving 100 women divided equally into case and control groups. The results showed no significant difference in migraine prevalence between the groups, with 14% of the case group and 12% of the control group experiencing migraines (P = 0.766). There were no significant differences in headache occurrence, migraine signs, or other demographic factors. However, a positive family history of hair loss was more common in the case group with migraines (P = 0.021). Overall, the study found no significant association between female-pattern baldness and migraine prevalence.
