The primary objective of this study is to assess the level of inhibitory control in the motor cortex of migraine patients using objective and non-invasive methods. To this end, Motor Evoked Potential (MEP) and Cortical Silence Period (CSP) parameters obtained using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) will be measured and comparisons will be made between migraine patients and healthy controls. Since CSP duration is used specifically in the evaluation of GABA-B-mediated inhibitory mechanisms, it has the potential to directly measure the effect of migraine on cortical inhibition.
