Statistical calculations were done among those who were exposed to modulatory factors. The bold and underlined ones are statistically significant rates according to 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.

MWOA, migraine without aura; MWA, migraine with aura; Provoc, provocation; Inhibit, inhibition; NoMod, no modulation.

Two uncertain diagnosis in the migraine group.
