A comparison of the two groups here was made according to the median age of migraineurs. Statistical calculations were done among those who were exposed to modulatory factors. The bold and underlined ones are statistically significant rates according to the adjusted residual (≥2) values, and Bonferroni-corrected p-values were calculated according to number of migraine subgroups (0.05/2; p < 0.025) in Pearson chi-square.
Provoc, provocation; Inhibit, inhibition; NoMod, no modulation.

p ≤ 0.001.
