Triptans for Pediatric Migraines: A Review

This study explores the use of [triptans] for the treatment of [pediatric migraines]. The study reviews the current evidence on the efficacy and safety of triptans in children and adolescents, highlighting the limited data available for most of the triptan class. The authors found that sumatriptan, particularly nasal sumatriptan, has the most available data and shows promising results, while oral sumatriptan does not demonstrate significant benefit compared to placebo. The study also discusses the conflicting data on rizatriptan and zolmitriptan, with most studies favoring oral rizatriptan and nasal zolmitriptan. The study concludes that while the triptan class should be considered as an acute treatment option for pediatric migraines, more research is needed to establish definitive recommendations for specific triptans in this population.

Triptans for Pediatric Migraines: A Balanced Perspective

The findings suggest that while some triptans, particularly nasal sumatriptan and oral rizatriptan, may be effective for treating pediatric migraines, further research is needed to establish clear guidelines for their use in this population. This research underscores the importance of ongoing research to develop safe and effective treatments for children and adolescents experiencing migraines.

Managing Migraines in Children: A Collaborative Approach
