Managing Migraines in Kids

Migraines aren't just 'bad headaches,' and they don't always present with pain. Every migraine is different, and they can present with a wide range of symptoms from dizzy spells to abdominal pain. In this episode, we aim to bring clarity to the complexity of migraines, exploring the latest research, clinical signs and possible interventions.

Marcy Yonker, MD, Director of the Pediatric Headache Program at Children's Colorado joins us for this episode. Dr. Yonker is the Francescon Endowed Chair in Headache and a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of CO School of Medicine.

Some highlights from this episode include:

• What to do before referring
• How to support students with migraines in schools
• Lifestyle interventions compared to medications
• Treatments for migraine
