T-lymphocytes in migraine.
T and B lymphocytes have been examined in patients suffering from migraine. T lymphocytes are significantly reduced during the headache when compared to headache-free periods (or to values of non-migraine patients). Tg and Tm lymphocytes are reduced by an equal percentage. The basophils are also reduced in migraine patients. Evidence is presented that the cell-mediated immunity functions aberrantly in these patients.
