Journal Article
Role of Peripheral Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Acute Headache Attack to Differentiate between Migraine and Non-Migraine Headache
2022
Overview
Although the potential relationship between headaches, particularly migraine, and peripheral inflammatory markers (PIMs) has been investigated, it is unclear whether PIMs are involved in the pathogenesis of migraine or can differentiate it from non-migraine headaches (nMHs). Using 10 years of data from the Smart Clinical Data Warehouse, patients who visited the neurology outpatient department (OPD) within 30 days after visiting the emergency room (ER) for headaches were divided into migraine and nMH groups, the PIMs were compared including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) ratios, and neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio (NMR). Of the 32,761 patients who visited the ER for headaches, 4005 patients visited the neurology OPD within 30 days. There were significant increases in the NLR, MLR, and NMR, but a lower PLR in the migraine and nMH groups than the controls. The NMR was significantly higher in the migraine than the nMH group. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the ability of the NLR and NMR to differentiate between migraine and nMHs was poor, whereas it was fair between the migraine groups and controls. The elevated PIMs, particularly the NLR and NMR, during headache attacks in migraineurs suggest that inflammation plays a role in migraine and PIMs may be useful for supporting a migraine diagnosis.
