This 2019–2024 literature review evaluates reported correlations between endometriosis and migraine, focusing on original articles that examined how the two conditions co-occur and how their relationship is determined across studies. Across included papers, the review reports that despite differences in methods for assessing the correlation, recent publications consistently confirm an association between endometriosis and migraine. The paper does not present new experimental data, and its main limitation is that it synthesizes heterogeneous original studies without detailing effect sizes or standardized measures. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews literature on the correlation between endometriosis and migraine headache.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Aim: Endometriosis and migraine are common diseases that share many features, and their co-occurrence is the subject of numerous studies. Nevertheless, there is no effective treatment for these diseases and diagnosis is often delayed. This review aims to present correlations between these conditions, which can improve diagnosis and treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The inclusion criteria were original articles published between 2019 and 2024 describing the correlation between endometriosis and migraine. Analysis of literature. The study describes the connection between endometriosis and migraine, presenting it in a concise and easy to analyze way. The importance of the problem of co-occurrence of endometriosis and migraine was emphasized and the latest articles were analyzed, which differed in the way of determining the correlation between these diseases, but nevertheless confirmed the connection between the two. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Endometriosis and migraine are very important problems, which share many correlations. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment can improve patients' quality of life. All recent publications have confirmed the correlations between these diseases and agree on looking for the features of migraine in patients with endometriosis and looking for endometriosis in patients with migraine.
