Mean platelet volume and other hematological parameters in pediatric migraine

Introduction: According to our hypothesis, the mean platelet volume (MPV) value in migraine patients should be lower than healthy individuals due recurrent neuroinflammation during headache attacks. Therefore, this study aimed identify differences between MPV and other hemogram parameters pediatric with a control group. Material methods: This included total of 80 people, 40 subjects. Those hematological diseases, using alcohol or smoking, malignancy, pregnancy, any chronic disease were excluded from study. Results: Individuals group chosen have same age sex as patient ( p = 0.98). The had statistically significantly higher counts 0.043). was compared 0.001), but distribution width 0.034) Conclusions: Migraine period shown low values elevated neuroinflammation. result shows that inflammation especially plays vital role pathophysiology.
