Objective: Migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) are the most common primary headaches. It was aimed to obtain information about the pathophysiology of these primary headaches by performing visual evoked potentials (VEPs) to patients with migraine and TTH. Material and Methods: Healthy individuals, episodic migraine, and episodic TTH patients were included in this prospective study. Pattern reversal and flash VEPs were performed to all participants. VEP was applied while the patients were in the interictal period. In addition, headache severity of migraine and TTH patients were analyzed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: Thirty-one healthy individuals, 27 TTH patients, and 31 migraine patients were included in the study. Age and gender were not different between the groups (p>0.05). VAS scores of migraine patients (8.0±1.2) were higher than those of TTH patients (6.5±1.1) (p |
