Abstract

Abstract: The most common main headache disease in children and adolescents is migraine. Migraine in children and teenagers is still diagnosed clinically. The doctor requires a thorough headache history that focuses on the kind, location, intensity, and duration of the pain. Most children's migraines are frontal rather than temporal/occipital and bilateral rather than unilateral, which makes them slightly different from adult migraines. Pediatric migraine can be successfully treated with a personalized regimen combining nonpharmacologic and pharmaceutical treatments. Pediatric patients have succeeded with pharmacological treatments for migraine prevention, including beta-blockers, calcium channel antagonists, serotonin antagonists, antidepressants, and antiepileptics. The study summarises current evidence regarding the Prevalence and Risk Factors of Migraine in Children. For article selection, the PubMed database and EBSCO Information Services were used. All relevant articles relevant to our topic and other articles were used in our review. Other articles that were not related to this field were excluded. The data was extracted in a specific format that the group members reviewed. The frequency of family fights and the amount of free time are two important contributors to the emergence of chronic headaches. The way the parents react to their daughter's headaches appears significant for females. Anaemia, obesity, disorders of the abdomen, and early menarche are a few more health issues connected to childhood headaches. Children frequently experience recurrent headaches, which is a serious medical comorbidity. The findings indicated that chronic migraine significantly contributes to headaches in children and adolescents, with various age groups being more concentrated in terms of headache features and risk factors.
