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”.
