Reported Migraine Symptoms in Men Differ From Women
Migraine attacks are often diagnosed based on associated symptoms such as nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia, which are part of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) diagnostic criteria. However, research suggests that men may not always present with these hallmark symptoms as frequently as women. Understanding these differences is crucial, as they can contribute to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis in male patients, especially when clinicians rely on symptom profiles that may reflect a female-centric norm.
