Abstract
During migraine attacks, thromboelastographic changes indicating blood hypocoagulability occur in the patient. It is possible that blood hypoco-agulability, seen during the migraine attack, is due to greater production of heparin by mast cells. These studies stemmed from the hypothesis that some active substances play an important role in the pathogenesis of migraine. Some of these substances are present within tissue mast cells, which also contain heparin.Keywords
