Purpose of Review <p>Migraine prevalence in females is up to 3 times higher than in males and females show higher frequency, longer duration, and increased severity of headache attacks, but the reason for that difference is not known. This narrative review presents the main aspects of sex dimorphism in migraine prevalence and discusses the role of sex-related differences in mitochondrial homeostasis in that dimorphism. The gender dimension is also shortly addressed.</p> Recent Findings <p>The imbalance between energy production and demand in the brain susceptible to migraine is an important element of migraine pathogenesis. Mitochondria are the main energy source in the brain and mitochondrial impairment is reported in both migraine patients and animal models of human migraine. However, it is not known whether the observed changes are consequences of primary disturbance of mitochondrial homeostasis or are secondary to the migraine-affected hyperexcitable brain. Sex hormones regulate mitochondrial homeostasis, and several reports suggest that the female hormones may act protectively against mitochondrial impairment, contributing to more effective energy production in females, which may be utilized in the mechanisms responsible for migraine progression. Migraine is characterized by several comorbidities that are characterized by sex dimorphism in their prevalence and impairments in mitochondrial functions.</p> Summary <p>Mitochondria may play a major role in sexual dimorphism in migraine through the involvement in energy production, the dependence on sex hormones, and the involvement in sex-dependent comorbidities. Studies on the role of mitochondria in sex dimorphism in migraine may contribute to precise personal therapeutic strategies.</p>
