Abstract
Enhanced platelet reactivity in migraine seems well established (Grotemeyer et al. 1983; Lechner et al. 1985). The basis for the observed change in platelet function is still unknown (Kruglak et al. 1984). Abnormal platelet reactivity could represent a side effect of migraine (Deshmuk and Meyer 1977), it could be a pure epiphenomenon (Rose 1985), or it may be an important step in the evolution of a migraine headache (Hannington et al. 1981).
