“…In terms of gender characteristics, the most sufferers were found in women, both in migraineurs and TTH sufferers. This is in line with previous research conducted by Yilmaz et al (2021) and Arikan et al (2020) which showed that women suffer from migraines and TTH more compared to men [ 4 , 17 ]. Epidemiologically, both migraine and TTH are more common in women than men with a ratio of 3: 1.…”

Background: Headaches are among the most common complaints observed in neurology and medicine, notably migraines and tension-type headaches (TTH). Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare hematologic parameters comprised hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, leukocytes, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelets-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) between migraineurs and tension-type headache patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 23 migraineurs and 23 TTH-diagnosed patients, in accordance with the International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 beta version (ICHD-3-beta). The patients underwent hematological laboratory testing, which included assessments of their serum levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, leucocytes as well as neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes. Results: There were significant differences in the mean platelets serum levels between migraineurs and TTH patients, with migraineurs having 355.3 x 103/μl (SD±47.4 x 103/μl) and TTH patients having 282.0 x 103 /μl (SD± 44.2 x 103) /μl, respectively (p = 0.001). However, there were no differences in the mean level of hemoglobin, hematocrit and leukocytes between the two groups. There was also a significant difference in PLR between migraineurs and TTH patients, with a ratio of 138.1 (SD±36.0) in migraineurs and 110.2 (SD±21.9) in TTH patients (p =0.003), but no differences in NLR or LMR. Conclusion: The mean serum levels of platelets and platelets-to-lymphocyte ratio of migraineurs were significantly higher than TTH patients. However, there were no differences in the mean levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocytes, NLR and LMR between the two groups.

Headaches, especially migraines and tension-type headaches (TTH), are among the most prevalent problems encountered in neurology and medicine. Ongoing debate surrounds the pathophysiological mechanisms behind this condition. One of the potential ideas involves inflammation and diet. The purpose of the study was to compare the serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, vitamin D and magnesium in 23 migraineurs and 23 TTH-diagnosed sufferers. The CRP level (4.8±3.7 mg/L) was found to be significantly different between migraineurs and TTH sufferers, with a significant difference (p=0.03) between the two groups of headache sufferers. Vitamin D serum levels (19.5±7.9 ng/L) and TTH serum levels (26.7±8.4) were observed to differ significantly. Magnesium serum levels (p=0.692) did not differ significantly between the two headache patient groups.
