Abstrakt: This cross sectional comparative study was done to investigate the association between low thyroid hormone level and migraine headache in adults patients. The study was conducted in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, a tertiary level hospital of Bangladesh. Study period was from November 2017 to April 2018. The study subjects consisted of 50 patients with migraine headache as case, compared with 50 patients of headache other than migraine as control, seen in Neurology out patient department (OPD). Thyroid function test was performed by new automated immuno-chemiluminometric assay. Mean age was 29.80±9.87 years in migraine group and 34.18±11.82 years in non migraine group. Male female ratio was 1:2.3 and 1:1.7 in two groups. Level of TSH was significantly higher in migraine patients (3.52±2.53 vs. 2.25±2.13) than other headache patients (p=0.008). Thyroid disorder especially subclinical hypothyroidism was significantly higher (28% vs. 08%) in migraineurs than non migraineurs (p=0.032). No significant relationship was found between thyroid hormone level and headache characteristics of migraine patients (p>0.05). Migraine headache is associated with low thyroid hormone and thyroid disorder can be considered as comorbidity of migraine headache.
