Values are presented as mean±standard deviation, number (%), or median (IQR).
PS+, premonitory symptom positive; PS–, premonitory symptom negative; MMD, monthly migraine days; IQR, interquartile range; VAS, visual analogue score; GON, greater occipital nerve.
*Asterisk indicates a statistically significant (p<0.05). †For parameters given as either mean±standard deviation or median (IQR), the Mann-Whitney U-test was used to obtain p-values. For parameters given as frequency, the chi-square test was used to obtain p-values.
PS+ (n=139) | PS– (n=47) | p-value† | |
---|---|---|---|
MIDAS (IQR) | 26 (14–40) | 16 (10–33.5) | 0.05 |

PS+, premonitory symptom positive; PS–, premonitory symptom negative; MIDAS, Migraine Disability Assessment Scale; IQR, interquartile range; Mig-SCOG, Migraine Attack Related Subjective Cognitive Scale; EUROHIS-8, European Health Impact Scale.
*Asterisk indicates a statistically significant (p<0.05). †For parameters with IQR values, the significance between groups was tested with the Mann-Whitney U-test.
