Abstract
Migraine is common and well-known in the adult population, but also frequent among children. In this review, the latest evidence on how to treat migraine in children is presented. The headache diary in which the episodes of headache are recorded, is an important tool in order to optimize the medical treatment and to avoid identified trigger factors. While the acute treatment of migraine is well-established, preventive medical treatment is not strongly evidence-based and should only be used in selected cases of severe or refractive migraine.
