The use of progestogen-only pill in migraine patients.
Migraine is a debilitating neurovascular disorder which is estimated to affect 18% of women and 6% of men.

We analyzed characteristics, effects and benefits of progestogen-only pill, a possible alternative for contraception in women with migraine.
