Dismissed for too long: the impact of migraine on children & young people

Dismissed for too long: the impact of migraine on children & young people An estimated one in ten children are living with migraine. This potentially limits their development and ability to take part in education, social activities, and other important parts of growing up. It can also be hard for children to understand and explain their pain, and there are fewer treatment options for them than there are for adults. Based on a variety of workshops and surveys with children and young people who have migraine, parents and carers, and education professionals, this report highlights a clear need for better understanding of how migraine impacts children and for tailored information, guidance and support for children and young people of different ages who have migraine.
