The impact of barometric pressure changes on migraine attacks severity, frequency, and duration: A systematic review of the literature

Key Points

• Migraine attacks show increased severity and frequency with changes in barometric pressure, highlighting a consistent pattern.
• A systematic review evaluated numerous studies, establishing that fluctuations in barometric pressure affect attack characteristics.
• The evidence indicates a noteworthy link between weather changes and migraine duration, suggesting environmental triggers are significant.
• Understanding these environmental factors could help in managing migraine treatments more effectively in susceptible individuals.
