Abstract :Migraine is a very common disease. Annual prevalence of migraine in our coun - try is reported as 16.4%. Oxidative stress is assumed to play a role in the patho - physiology of migraine. In many recent studies conducted on individuals with migraine, serum Oxidative Stress Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OSI);, Total Antioxidant Status insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TAS);, Total Oxidant Status insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TOS); values were analyzed and it was indicated that the balance shifts towards oxidative direction. Thiol-disulfide homeostasis, which is an oxidative stress marker, was described in recent years and has been shown to have vital importance on cellular functions. In the light of this information, we aimed to examine the role of oxidative stress in pathogenesis of migraine disease with new biomarkers. The study was conducted on 36 cases of 24 pa - tients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17 female, 7 male; mean age: 40.54±11.60); followed up with a migraine diagnosis and 12 people in the healthy control group with similar age and sex insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10 female, 2 male; mean age: 38.17±10.80);. Total thiol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(μmol/L);, native thiol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(μmol/L); and disulfide level, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol, native thiol/total thiol ratios were quantified in the patient and control groups. In the migraine group with aura, reduced ratio and thiol oxidation reduction ratio val - ues were high and oxidized thiol ratio values were low insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.010, 0.015, 0.048);. This study focused on thiol-disulfide hemostasis, a new and reliable indicator in determining oxidative stress which is held responsible for the pathophysiology of migraine.
