Acute Phase Reactions and Thrombophilia in Pediatric Patients With Migraine
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.

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
- 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.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
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
