After obtaining basic data, a visual analogue scale (VAS) for the severity of migraine pain was assessed. Thirty healthy individuals and 60 age- and sex-matched migraineurs (22 chronic and 38 episodic migraineurs), diagnosed according to the International Headache Society criteria (ICHD-III), were recruited. We investigated the possible relationship between vitamin D level and its related minerals (calcium and magnesium) and migraine characteristics in patients. The effect of vitamin D on various neurological disorders is thought to be exerted either directly via its specific receptors or through the related minerals. Migraine, although, is a prevalent disease its pathogenesis is complex and still not fully elucidated.
