Cohort study finds maternal anxiety and youth depression are linked to migraine risk in adolescents, suggesting potential prevention strategies.
Findings suggest that maternal anxiety and youth depressive symptoms have an antecedent role in youth migraine risk. Although certain migraine risk factors remain non-modifiable (e.g., genetic inheritance), child and parent mental health symptoms may be alleviated through evidence-based mental health treatments. Future clinical research should explore whether reducing exposure to child and parent mental health symptoms could prevent or delay the development of new migraine cases ("incident migraine").
