Are you female, suffer from headaches, and are between your first and last menstrual period (between menarche and menopause), i.e., before your menopausal transition? Then you are cordially invited to participate in this scientific study. 

Headaches/migraines and menstrual cramps are common complaints that can affect women's quality of life. Women often suffer from both symptoms, sometimes multiple times a month and often simultaneously. The extent to which these are related and influence each other is poorly understood.

In this study, we are investigating how many women experience headaches and menstrual pain, the extent to which these are related, and whether they potentially influence the respective treatment. Therefore, you are also invited to participate in this study even if you only experience headaches and not menstrual pain.

Answering the following questions should take no longer than 20 minutes. The survey is anonymous, so it is not possible to identify you personally. Approval for this study has been obtained from the Ethics Committee of the University of Lübeck.

Please note that due to the anonymous storage of the data, it is not possible to withdraw your participation or delete your data.
