*p < 0.05 between CM and controls; **p < 0.05 between EM and controls; ***p < 0.05 between CM and EM. P-values were determined using the Mann–Whitney U test
All values are expressed as means and standard deviations. EM episodic migraine, CM chronic migraine, nBR nociceptive blink reflex, iR2 ipsilateral R2 component, cR2 contralateral R2 component, AUC area under the curve
