Serial systemic immune inflammation indices: markers of acute migraine events or indicators of persistent inflammatory status?
SSIIi levels were significantly lower in patients with migraine with aura (MA), compared to MO. MA showed a greater, though non-significant, decrease between the two measurements compared to those with migraine without aura (MO) and outpatient controls, whose SSIIi levels remained consistently higher. The control group displayed similar findings to MO inpatients, suggesting persistent systemic inflammation in a subset of migraine patients regardless of in patient or outpatient of presentation and highlighting the need for future studies to more rigorously evaluate the role of systemic inflammation in migraine pathophysiology, chronicity, and progression though the multiple phases of migraine including the interictal phase.
