Early Cochlear Changes In Migrain With Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions
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 monitorisation 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.
