The Value Of Highly Specific C-Reactive Protein Hs-Crp In Migraine Headache, Hussein Khalil Mar 2026

The Value Of Highly Specific C-Reactive Protein Hs-Crp In Migraine Headache, Hussein Khalil

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

Background: Migraine is a well known neurologic disease, ordinarily portrayed by intermittent assaults of incapacitating headache and manifestations of autonomic nervous system disturbances. In about 33% patients, headache attacks are joined by transient “focal neurologic aura manifestations”. Migraine is a neurovascular disease accompanied by cranial vascular contractile dysfunction, neurogenic inflammation and cortical spreading depression. Brain tissue activation results in the production of peptides by the perivascular trigeminal areas which lead to an inflammatory response with dilation of extraparenchymal blood vessels. Inflammatory vasculopathy accompany repeated assaults of migraine attacks. A number of studies showed the elevation of certain inflammatory markers in …
