Abstract
A new class of migraine symptomatology is suggested which consists of major signs of migraine related to disturbances in the menstrual cycle. Not only are these patients different from other migraine patients, they are most responsive to an antiprostaglandin drug. This drug is less useful in other forms of migraine. We suggest that this type of migraine be called prostaglandin migraine.Keywords
