Migraine Headache in Children

Abstract

Diagnosis of migraine headache in children can be difficult as it depends on subjective symptoms; diagnostic criteria are broader than in adults.\nMigraine occurs in 3% to 10% of children and increases with age up to puberty.Migraine spontaneously remits after puberty in half of children, but if it begins during adolescence, it may be more likely to persist throughout adulthood.\n
