Study of treatments for childhood migraine headaches
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to help children and teens with migraine headaches by testing a care approach that includes access to evidence-based treatment. It may help if your child has frequent migraine headaches and is starting (or not already on) certain migraine-preventive medicines.
