Migraine is a condition that occurs across all age groups. In the pediatric population, it is underdiagnosed compared to adults. Pediatric migraine has specific neurodevelopmental and clinical characteristics, and its diagnostic and therapeutic approaches differ partially from those used in adults. In this article, we aim to highlight these issues.We present some epidemiological data on migraine occurrence, migraine phenotypes in the pediatric population, diagnostic and treatment approaches, and practical insights, with a broader focus on treatment.

Keywords: headache, migraine, childhood, adolescence, treatment.
