[Proinflammatory cytokines in children with idiopathic headache].

Abstract

1. Changes of the level of IL-6, IL-1beta, TNF and sTNFRI in the blood of children with idiopathic headache do not indicate a significant role of inflammatory process in its pathogenesis. 2. Although the significant increase in IL-6 levels observed in several children in the first hour of the migraine attack may suggest that neurogenic inflammation participates in the pathogenesis of migraine.
