Migraine Headache |
| Purpose: |
|
This study will measure two types of markers, adipokines and cytokines during an acute
migraine attack. Adipokines have not previously been studied in this manner. Measurements
of these markers in treated and untreated patients during an acute migraine attack ang again
at a pain free interval may lead to increased understanding of the pathway to neurologic
inflammation giving rise to migraine.
