摘要

Purpose of Review

The purpose of this review is to present current evidence on the multifaceted approach required for managing pediatric migraine. This includes identifying migraine triggers, managing acute pain episodes, and implementing preventive strategies. The review focuses on non-pharmacological interventions, such as behavioral and lifestyle modifications. By exploring these aspects, the review seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of effective migraine management in children and adolescents.

Recent Findings

Non-pharmacological treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, and biofeedback are effective alternatives to medication. Nutraceuticals and dietary considerations, including ketogenic diet, alongside education and regular follow-ups, optimize outcomes. Integrating tools for tracking migraine patterns and training for clinicians, parents, and patients enhances treatment effectiveness. Engaging adolescents and their families through education and active participation is essential for improving their quality of life.

Summary

This review presents available evidence of non-pharmacological strategies for managing episodic migraine in pediatrics. CBT and lifestyle modification are documented for their effect. Future research is required to create evidence-based, comprehensive treatment plans including these and other non-pharmacological strategies tailored to individual needs.
