Migraine in Children and its Relationship to Biomarkers

Migraine is a clinical manifestation of severe, recurrent and most commonly disabling headache disorder in children and adolescents which is associated with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. Primary headache disorders such as migraine begin as early as childhood or adolescence and the prevalence increases during primary school and adolescence [1]. It is very commonly encountered by neurologists. Bio-psycho-social factors play a vital role in migraine and sometimes it is triggered by factors. Triggers that induce migraine are stress [2], fatigue, various foods, alcohol, drugs, smoking, weather changes, and odors [3]. Migraine is diagnosed clinically.
