Our research documented a significative higher prevalence of aPL positivity and protein S deficiency in migraineurs than in controls. Data also showed an association between these alterations and some vascular thrombotic events in migraine patients. We can argue that thrombophilic disorders associated with migraine may contribute to the occurrence of vascular events.
