Abstract
Serum and erythrocyte magnesium levels were screened between attacks in patients with migraine without aura (n=38) and with aura (n=6) and for comparison, in a group of patients suffering from chronic tension-type headache (n=25) as well as a group of control patients (n=19) at the Headache Unit, Citadelle University of Liege, Liege, Belgium.
Highlights
Serum and erythrocyte magnesium levels were screened between attacks in patients with migraine without aura (n=38) and with aura (n=6) and for comparison, in a group of patients suffering from chronic tension-type headache (n=25) as well as a group of control patients (n=19) at the Headache Unit, Citadelle University of Liege, Liege, Belgium
Serum magnesium levels were not significantly different between the four groups of patients, whereas magnesium levels in erythrocytes were significantly reduced in the group of migraineurs without aura (1.87) compared with those with aura (2.1), patients with tension-type headache (2.03) and the controls (2.12)
Normal values in the laboratory ranged from 2-2.8 mmol/1 in erythrocytes
