Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Patients during Migraine attacks

Patients with Migraine before, during and after Migraine attacks. Acute phase reaction profile, and activation of the coagulation system will be investigated together with thrombophilia profile.

Other: Laboratory tests
Laboratory tests: erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Blood Count, C reactive Protein, Protein C activity, Protein S activity,Antithrombin II activity, Coagulation Factor VIII and IX,Con Willebrand Factor, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), Fibrinogen, D Dimer and Prothrombin Fragments F1 and F2.

Experimental: Control group

Patients with acute neurologic events like convulsions not related to fever or central nervous system (CNS) infections will be studied including acute phase reaction laboratory tests, thrombophilia and activation of the coagulation system

Other: Laboratory tests
Laboratory tests: erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Blood Count, C reactive Protein, Protein C activity, Protein S activity,Antithrombin II activity, Coagulation Factor VIII and IX,Con Willebrand Factor, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), Fibrinogen, D Dimer and Prothrombin Fragments F1 and F2.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Proportion of patients with activation of the coagulation system. [Two years, each patient will be studied at attack onset and after 72 hours.]

    The further analysis will be performed in each patient: Pt, PTT, Platelets, Protein C, S, Antithrombin III, D Dimer, Factor VIII, Factor IX, Von Willebrand Factor and Prothrombin fragments I and II will be analyzed on day one of the crises, after 72 hours and in steady state.
