- Title
Editorial: Clinical and Pathophysiological Peculiarities of Headache in Children and Adolescents.
- Authors
Valeriani, Massimiliano; Abu-Arafeh, Ishaq; Özge, Aynur
- Abstract
Keywords: headache; child; adolescent; developing brain; peculiarities Furthermore, and unfortunately, the international classification of headache disorders in their successive editions do not discuss the pediatric presentation of the different headache disorders except for certain aspects of migraine, giving the erroneous impression that primary and secondary headaches in children are just smaller versions of their counterparts in adult. Also the treatment of pediatric headaches should not merely mirror that of adult headaches, since pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies in children and adolescents should take account of the characteristics of the developing brain and the comorbidities typical of this age.
