Abstract
Purpose: Paediatric migraine is a common and debilitating neurological condition that affects a significant number of children worldwide. Episodes of moderate to severely severe headaches, frequently accompanied by nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia, are the most typical indications and symptoms. Effective management of Paediatric migraines requires a comprehensive approach that includes acute treatment of individual attacks, preventive strategies, and lifestyle modifications. Acute treatment options for paediatric migraines primarily involve the consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as initial medication treating episodes that are mild to severe. In cases of severe or refractory migraines, triptans may be considered. Preventive strategies occupy a crucial part in reducing the frequency and the degree of intensity of paediatric migraines. These strategies include the use of medications such as antiepileptic drugs, beta-blockers, and tricyclic antidepressants. Lifestyle modifications are integral to the management of Paediatric migraines. Identifying and avoiding triggers, maintaining regular sleep patterns, promoting a healthy diet, and managing stress are key elements in preventing migraine attacks.
