Headache is not an uncommon complaint in children, and recognition of migraine is increasing in children and adolescents. Treatment options consist of abortive and preventive medications; however, when to start the preventive treatment is not clear in the pediatric population. This article reviews current guidelines and practices to provide a better clinical approach in the management of migraines in children and adolescents.
