Abstract

Objective: In this study, our objective is to examine the cochlear functions that might occur during the early period of migraine.

Methods: Our prospective study was planned as a clinical study and it was analyzed by measuring the transient otoacoustic emission of individuals who have or do not have migraine with normal audition limit as pure tone audiometry.

Results: The emission amplitudes of the patients with migraine were lower than the control group P < 0.05). Even though the difference at the frequency of 2.0 Hz on the right side was significant P < 0.05) in the statistical analysis conducted between the patients and the control group, it was not found significant at other frequencies (P >0.05). In addition, there were no statistical differences between the patients with migraine and the control groups in terms of gender and age (P >0.05).

Conclusion: Audiologic monitorization might be required in the long-term with larger patient groups despite of the minimal changes in the cochlear function in the early stages of migraine.

Amaç: Bu çalismadaki amacimiz migrenin erken döneminde olusabilecek koklear fonksiyonlari incelemektir.

Yöntemler: Çalismamiz prospektif olup klinik çalisma olarak planlandi ve pure tone odyometrik olarak normal isitme sinirlarinda olan migrenli ve migrenli olmayan kisilerin transient otoakustik emisyon lari ölçülerek analiz edildi.

Bulgular: Migrenli hastalarin emisyon amplitüdleri kontrol grubuna göre düsüktü (P < 0.05). Hastalar ile kontrol grubu arasinda yapilan istatiksel analizde sag tarafta 2.0 Hz frekansinda farklilik anlamli çikmasina (P < 0.05) karsin diger frekanslarda anlamli bulunamadi (P >0.05). Ayrica cinsiyet ve yas açisindan migren hastalari ile kontrol gruplari arasinda istatiksel farklilik bulunamadi (P >0.05).

Sonuç: Migrenin erken dönemlerinde koklear fonksiyonlarda minimal degisiklikler saptanmasina karsin daha büyük hasta grubu ile uzun dönemde isitsel monitörizasyon ihtiyaci gerekebilir.
