ABSTRACT

Migraine is a widespread neurovascular brain disorder. Macro minerals and trace elements have gained recognition as important for the treatment and diagnosis of migraine. The objective of our study is to clinically assess alterations in various serum paramaters(Magnesium, Bilirubin, C-Reactive Protein) in patients with migraine and compared with controls. Methods: We are planning to conduct our prospective study in Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital comprised of u0 migraine patients and equal number of healthy controls. Migraine Patients with or without aura are selected. Serum parameters such as magnesium, bilirubin and C- reactive protein is measured in patients who are willing to participate. These parameters are then quantitatively estimated using semi auto analyzer. The results obtained from our study is compared with the healthy individuals. From our study we may prove that serum parameters has a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of migraine.
