Background
Headache is a common complaint in childhood with up to 75% of children reporting a notable headache by the age of 15 years. Pediatric migraine is the most frequent recurrent headache, occurring in up to 28% of older teenagers. Migraine can have a substantial effect on the life of the child, as well as their family, leading to lost school days and withdrawal from social interactions. The prevalence of non-migrainous headache is 10-25% in childhood and adolescence.
