Introduction & Migraine is a kind of neuro-vascular headaches prevalent among women. Chronic vascular spasm and constrictions causes the brain arterial ischemia and incidence of CVA. Due to vascular disorders, stroke results in ischemia and incidence of neurological damages. The present study is an evaluation of risk factors for stroke in women with migraine. This paper has been prepared on the basis of surveying 53 related articles and references with Migraine, CVA, genetics and women using internet (Google search engine) and library sources. The prevalence of this disease is 15-18% and 5-6% among women and men respectively. In 44.0% of cases, the symptoms are accompanied with Aura or local neurological signs which are similar to the CVA signs. Therefore, differentiatingthese two diseases with each other is problematic. Though the main cause of Migraine is unknown, it is said that endogenous and exogenous factors are effective on the Migrainegenerator in brain stem, resulting in incidence of Migraine attacks. Estrogen cycle is an endogenous powerful aggravator factor which causes Migraine prevalence among women 2-3 times more than that of men. Beginning of menstruation at the ages of 11-19 years,maturity, menstruation accompanied with ovulation and pregnancy period are among the aggravator factors but menopause causes it's reduction. Oral Contraceptive Pills OCP) increase the incidence risk of CVA and this risk is higher in Migraine with Aura thanMigraine without that. Although, Migraine is prevalent among women and may lead to death, it is suggested to carry out genitival studies to prevent Migraine causing Stroke in women suffering from Migraine with and without Aura, so as to identify high risk personsand prevent the incidence of such attacks in further years. In addition, the best way to prevent this disease and its complications is not to let its gene become active by changing the diet, using Folate rich food, and avoiding risk factors such as smoking.Nurses could also play an important role in screening women, doing therapeutic measures, etc.

From all, 79 (18.2%) had mild depression, 120 (27.6%) had moderate depression and111 (25.5%) had severe depression. The prevalence rate of depression was 72 (70.6%) in divorced women, 134 (68.7%) in widowed women, 69 (75.8%) in women with disabled husbands and 35 (74.5%) in women with imprisoned husbands. There wereno significant relationships between depression score and variables of age (p=0.102), educational level (p=0.380) and marital statues (p=0.613). But the depression score showed a significant relationship with the number of children (p=0.013) in a way that the rate of depression in women who had no children was higher. This study indicated that there were higher rate of depression among female householders compared to other studies.
