Platelet size: no correlation with migraine or monoamine oxidase activity

R C Peatfield et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1982 Sep.

Abstract

A Coulter Model "S Plus" counter has been used to study platelets from 39 migrainous patients between attacks, six during attacks, eight with active cluster headache and 26 controls. None of the patient groups showed any abnormality in platelet size profile. There was no correlation between platelet monoamine oxidase activity and mean platelet volume in any of the groups.
