Sleep disorders seem to be highly prevalent among children with migraine and are associated with higher headache severity, according to a study published online Aug. 14 in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
Alessandra Voci, from the Tor Vergata University of Rome, and colleagues examined the correlation between headache features and sleep in pediatric migraine. Parents of children and adolescents with migraine answered questions about headache characteristics and completed the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for Children and Adolescents.
