Migraine and antiphospholipid antibodies

G E Tietjen. Cephalalgia. 1992 Apr.

Abstract

Antiphospholipid antibodies have been detected in patients with transient neurologic symptoms including migraine aura. The role of these antibodies in the pathogenesis of migraine is not fully understood. The available data suggest an association between the migraine-like phenomena and antiphospholipid antibodies, but not between migraine headache and antiphospholipid antibodies. To elucidate the actual role of antiphospholipid antibodies in migraine, prospective, controlled studies are needed.
