Abstract Objectives A tension headache is the most common type of headache, and its causes are multifactorial. A relationship has been shown between migraine headaches and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP). In this study, we investigated the NLR, PLR, and serum CRP levels in frequent episodic tension-type headache (FETTH) and chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) patients. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 64 patients with FETTH, 80 patients with CTTH, and 60 healthy controls who were followed up in the neurology clinic. Hematological parameters were compared between the patient and control groups. Results In CTTH patients, platelets, NLR, PLR, and CRP values were statistically higher than in FETTH patients and patients in the control group. In FETTH patients, the PLR value was higher than in patients in the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference in NLR and CRP values between FETTH patients and patients in the control group. Also, there was no correlation between these values and age and gender. Conclusion Increase platelet count might have an effect on tension-type headache pathophysiology. Systemic inflammation parameters were shown to be significantly higher in CTTH patients. More comprehensive studies are needed to evaluate the effect of systemic inflammation on the chronicity of tension headaches.

Background: Inflammation plays a role in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemic and also an initial response to brain injury. Inflammation involving Blood and Brain Barrier disturbance, leukocyte infiltration, endothelial cells activation, oxidant and inflammatory mediator buildups which can develop rapidly within hours and can cause secondary injury to brain tissues Objectives: To determine the correlation between Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hsCRP) with severity and outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design approach. Sampling was done at H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan and taken as many as 38 subjects. NLR and hsCRP were examined on the first day of admission. Severity was assessed by using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and the outcome was assessed by using the Modified Ranking Scale on the first and fourteenth day of admission. The data analysis used the contingency coefficient correlation test and gamma test. Results: Demographic characteristics of the subjects are; the average age is 62 years old, the highest educational level is high school graduate, and the most occupation is unemployed. There is a positive, moderate, and significant correlation between NLR and severity of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.511; p=0.001). There is a positive, moderate, and significant correlation between NLR and the outcome of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.463; p=0.001). There is a positive, very strong, and significant correlation between hsCRP and severity of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.896; p=0.001). There is a positive, strong, and significant correlation between hsCRP and outcome of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.624; p=0.001) Conclusions: There is a positive and significant correlation between NLR and hsCRP with severity and outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients.
