Overview

Migraine is a common condition in children, affecting 5-10% of them. While acute headache management is crucial, it is only one part of the treatment process. Identifying migraine precipitants, adjusting lifestyle, and using preventive therapy, both non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic, are essential. Ibuprofen and paracetamol are effective for acute migraine attacks, with limited side effects. Dihydroergotamine mesylate may be helpful for severe attacks, but lacks substantial evidence. Among triptans, sumatriptan nasal spray demonstrates the best efficacy, with transitory unpleasant taste as the most common adverse effect.
