Description

Hannah J Roeder and Enrique C Leira review, in 2026, how menopause interacts with brain and nerve health. Menopause is a hormone transition, not just the end of periods. Shifting hormones can change the course of several conditions that affect the central nervous system.

The review covers stroke, migraine, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease. Around menopause, hormone swings may worsen migraines and seizures in women prone to them, and the stage may mark a turning point for vessel injury and decline. Estrogen therapy effects differ by timing and age, helping in early ovarian failure yet raising stroke risk in older women. Care, the authors stress, must be tailored case by case.
