Acute Phase Reactions and Thrombophilia in Pediatric Patients With Migraine

Acute Phase Reactions and Thrombophilia in Pediatric Patients With Migraine, Laboratory Investigations in Steady State and During Migraine Attack

Acute Migraine attacks can be related to vascular or coagulation activation. Previous studies found relative high incidence of prothrombotic events in Migraine. The present study intends to assess the coagulation system and activation in patients with Migraine during steady state phase and at the beginning of attacks and after 72 hours. A control group of patients with another acute neurologic event like convulsions will be also studied. Patients will be at pediatric age and teenagers.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients at the pediatric age (5 to 20 ys old) suffering from Migraine attacks diagnosed by a neurologist.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with other underlying neurological conditions of coagulation diseases
