Abstract

Child and family education regarding management of pediatric migraine is essential to reduce acute pain, prevent chronic daily migraine, and minimize the total number of headache attacks. This paper summarizes current evidence and provides a foundation for family teaching. Effective management of pediatric migraine can be achieved with a combination of individually tailored biobehavioral strategies, lifestyle modifications, and optimal scheduling of rescue and preventative pharmacologic treatment. Included are goal setting recommendations, common triggers, key comorbidities, lifestyle modifications, principles of pharmacologic management, commonly used naturopathic compounds, and a link to an online downloadable teaching handout.
