Migraine and cardiovascular disease: systematic review and meta-analysis (2009, background): “are among the important findings in patients with migraine. In addition, several population based and clinic based studies have established a link between migraine and ischaemic stroke. This evidence was summarised in a meta-analysis of data published until 2004,”
Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Stroke (2011, neutral): “Both meta-analyses are in general agreement with prior studies.(595) Counseling on possible alternative forms of birth control other than OCs in women with migraine may lower the risk of stroke, but this recommendation should be placed in the context of overall health implications of such a change.”
