Serum levels of pentraxin-3 and other inflammatory biomarkers in migraine: Association with migraine characteristics

Conclusions
PTX-3 and fibrinogen exhibit different serum levels in patients undergoing a migraine attack compared with the interictal group and the controls. Participants with longer attacks and disease durations have lower serum levels of PTX-3, suggesting that inflammatory processes change along with disease progression.
