Summary

This observational retrospective cohort study aims to identify clinical and biochemical predictors of response to propranolol prophylaxis in pediatric migraine. A total of 178 children diagnosed with migraine between 2021 and 2023 were evaluated based on headache-related disability (PedMIDAS) and pain severity (VAS). Patients were treated either with behavioral therapy or propranolol (1-3 mg/kg/day) for 3 months.

Additionally, each patient was provided with a headache report card to self-monitor symptoms, triggers, and medication use over a 3-month period.

DRUG
