Jelena Pavlovic, M.D., Ph.D., talks about the link between estrogen levels and migraine in women, noting that the start and timing of headaches for many women is connected with a drop in their estrogen, which occurs before and during menstruation. Dr. Pavolovic is associate professor in the Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology at Einstein and a neurologist at Montefiore.
