Implication

Retrospective cohort study explores the link between pain scores and vital signs in children with migraine, indicating vital signs may not reliably reflect pain severity.

Key Points

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pain scores and vital signs among children with migraines.
Retrospective cohort study of 777 children aged 7 to 18 admitted for migraine from 2010 to 2018.
Self-reported pain scores paired with heart rate, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure recorded within one hour.
Patients were excluded for miscoded diagnoses or missing vital sign data.
No significant associations found between pain scores and heart rate, systolic, or diastolic blood pressure in the overall cohort.
Results remained consistent across age stratifications (7–11 and 12–18 years).
