INTRODUCTION Although vestibular migraine is well defined, the effects of migraine on the auditory system have not been clearly identified yet. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of migraine on the auditory system. METHODS Migraine patients without hearing loss were included in the study. Group 1 consisted of patients with migraine pain, group 2 consisted of patients with migraine in the interictal period, and group 3 consisted of healthy volunteers with similar demographic characteristics to groups 1 and 2. Random gap detection test was applied to all 3 groups. Additionally, group 2 and group 3 patients were evaluated with the auditory cortical potentials and the mismatch negativity test. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference between the 3 groups in the random gap detection test. There was no statistically significant difference in auditory cortical potentials between group 2 and group 3; however, a statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of mismatch negativity test latency. CONCLUSION An auditory pathway may be affected in migraine patients, although hearing tests are normal. This interaction continues between attacks, being more evident during the pain period. Therefore, disorders of hearing or speech perception in migraine patients should be evaluated by further audiological tests.

偏头痛患者听觉时间辨别阈值的评估。

引言 尽管前庭性偏头痛的定义很明确，但偏头痛对听觉系统的影响尚未明确。本研究的目的是确定偏头痛对听觉系统的影响。方法 没有听力损失的偏头痛患者被纳入研究。第 1 组由偏头痛患者组成，第 2 组由发作间期偏头痛患者组成，第 3 组由与第 1 组和第 2 组具有相似人口学特征的健康志愿者组成。所有 3 组均应用随机间隙检测试验。此外，还对第 2 组和第 3 组患者进行了听觉皮层电位和错配阴性测试的评估。结果 在随机间隙检测试验中，三组间差异有统计学意义。第 2 组和第 3 组之间的听觉皮层电位无统计学差异；然而，在错配阴性测试潜伏期方面，各组之间存在统计学上的显着差异。结论 尽管听力测试正常，但偏头痛患者的听觉通路可能受到影响。这种相互作用在发作之间持续存在，在疼痛期间更为明显。因此，应通过进一步的听力学测试来评估偏头痛患者的听力或语言感知障碍。这种相互作用在发作之间持续存在，在疼痛期间更为明显。因此，应通过进一步的听力学测试来评估偏头痛患者的听力或语言感知障碍。这种相互作用在发作之间持续存在，在疼痛期间更为明显。因此，应通过进一步的听力学测试来评估偏头痛患者的听力或语言感知障碍。
