Migraine is a highly prevalent primary headache disorder whose gender-specific differences have so far mainly been considered with regard to women. However, migraine in men has special characteristics – both in terms of symptoms, comorbidities and pain management as well as response to treatment. This article highlights the current state of knowledge on migraine in men, emphasizes the role of biological and social influences and argues for greater consideration of male patients in diagnostics, therapy and research.
