Inflammation Markers Drop During Migraine Attacks: New Study

Research Summary

A recent study published in Biomedicines investigates the role of inflammation in migraines by examining serum levels of molecules called Resolvin D1 (RvD1) and Maresin 1 (MaR1). Researchers analyzed 55 migraine patients and 53 healthy controls, collecting serum samples during both migraine attacks and symptom-free periods. Results showed that RvD1 and MaR1 levels were significantly lower during migraine attacks compared to the interictal period and healthy controls. The study highlights an association between reduced levels of these molecules and acute migraines, suggesting these could be potential biomarkers, though further research is needed for validation.
