Drugs called triptans that are used to treat migraines and cluster headaches can also treat menstrual migraines. They shrink blood vessels and fight pain. You'll probably need to take medicine 1 to 2 days before your period starts until it's over. Some women need to take both a triptan and an NSAID.
Migraines and hormones are closely linked. The International Headache Society describes Pure Menstrual Migraine as migraine attacks that start two days before or three days after the start of the menstrual cycle. Several studies show that between 4 percent and 21 percent of women have menstrual migraine.
