Abstract

The aims of this study were to: (a) identify differences in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucocorticoids among episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM) patients compared with controls; (b) determine longitudinal changes in serum glucocorticoids in CM patients; and (c) determine migraine-related clinical features contributing to glucocorticoid levels.
