Treatment of Headache in Children and Adolescents with POTS

This review provides an overview of POTS in children and adolescents with headaches, with a focus on the pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment approaches.

Current research in headache and POTS focuses on an individualized management that includes a multi-tiered patient-centric approach that selects treatments to match specific phenotypes.

The management of pediatric POTS and headache requires the individualized characterization of a patient’s phenotype, an assessment of an individual’s contributing lifestyle factors, the use of non-pharmacologic interventions, and the consideration of pharmacologic options.
