Update on current care guidelines; childhood headache

Childhood headache is a common condition. For childhood migraine, paracetamol and ibuprofen are the recommended medications. Less evidence is available on the effectiveness of triptans in children and adolescents than in adults, but consideration can be given to nasal sumatriptan and possibly oral rizatriptan, nasal and oral zolmitriptan. Propranolol is the first-line prophylactic medication for migraine. Less evidence exists on the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy for cases of tension headache than for migraine. The majority of children who suffer from recurrent headaches can be effectively treated in the primary health care.
