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.
