The exact pathomechanism of migraine remains unclear. Studies have revealed changes in serum prolactin (PRL) levels in relation to migraine, although the results have been inconsistent. The present case\u2010control study assessed the serum level of prolactin in migraine patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this case\u2010control study, participants were divided into chronic migraine (CM; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a039), episodic migraine in ictal (during an attack), and interictal (between attacks) phases (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a063, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a037, respectively) along with 30 age\u2010 and sex\u2010matched headache\u2010free controls. After obtaining demographic, anthropometric data, and headache characteristics, blood samples were gathered and analyzed to evaluate the serum levels of prolactin (ng\/mL).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A significant difference was observed between the control, CM, and ictal EM, and interictal EM groups. The mean\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0SD serum prolactin levels of the chronic migraineurs (1.82\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.94) and those with ictal EM (1.93\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.70) were comparable and were significantly higher than for interictal EM patients (0.82\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.46) and the headache\u2010free control subjects (0.49\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.15; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001). Although the mean serum concentration of prolactin for the interictal EM group tended to be higher than for control individuals, this difference was not statistically significant. The Spearman's correlation test also showed significant correlations between the serum prolactin levels and the number of headaches days among migraineurs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings suggest that there might be an association between increased prolactin concentrations and migraine headache induction and progression.
