Menopause headaches: soothing tension and restoring comfort
Vasomotor meningeal instability paired with craniofacial muscle tension.
Key takeaway
Près d'une femme sur trois subit une recrudescence de maux de tête en péri-ménopause.
Physiological mechanism
La chute abrupte des œstrogènes perturbe la régulation de la sérotonine et la sensibilité des terminaisons nerveuses du trijumeau, favorisant spasmes vasculaires crâniens et céphalées de tension.
Recommended lifestyle rituals
- Maintenir un rythme de sommeil extrêmement régulier et s'hydrater abondamment dès le réveil.
- Effectuer des pauses visuelles régulières lors du travail sur ordinateur (règle des 20-20-20).
- Appliquer une compresse fraîche sur le front et masser délicatement les tempes et la nuque.
