Menopause After Brain Injury: A New Publication from Headway
We are pleased to introduce Headway’s latest publication, Menopause after Brain Injury, which explores how menopause can uniquely impact women living with brain injuries.
As more people are surviving brain injuries and living longer, an increasing number of women are navigating both the effects of brain injury and the onset of menopause. Research suggests that menopause can exacerbate symptoms such as headaches, sleep disturbances, and cognitive or mood changes in women who have experienced brain injury.
In this publication, you’ll find:
- An overview of menopause and its effects on the body.
- Insight into how menopause symptoms may be more severe for women with brain injuries.
- Practical strategies for managing menopausal symptoms during this stage of life.
This resource has been carefully developed with input from leading experts, including the British Menopause Society Medical Advisory Council, Dr. Claire Kalpakjian from the University of Michigan, and Dr. Meghan Blaya from the University of Miami, ensuring it provides valuable and reliable information.

We hope this publication will offer helpful guidance to those navigating the dual challenges of brain injury and menopause.
