Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Episodic migraine is very common in children and adolescents, seen by primary care and specialists. In kids, this can greatly affect quality of life, including significant disability, specifically in terms of missed school and other activities. The goal of this paper is to give an overview of the most up-to-date thoughts on episodic migraine in the pediatric population. RECENT FINDINGS: Current options for both abortive and preventative treatments in kids, as well as specific non-pharmacological and lifestyle management recommendations for children, will be reviewed, as well as options for status migrainosus in the pediatric patient. Migraine pathophysiology is similar in adults and children with episodic migraine, but the approach to the management needs to be modified and adjusted in kids. Recognizing the impact on quality of life especially with regard to school and knowing appropriate treatment options can improve treatment and decrease the disability from this disorder.
