Paediatric Headache & Migraine Management
Headaches are common in children, but frequent, severe, or recurring headaches may affect school performance, sleep, concentration, and everyday activities. The Paediatric Headache & Migraine Management Package is designed to help identify possible causes of childhood headaches and support an appropriate management plan.
Comprehensive Headache Evaluation
The evaluation focuses on the child’s headache pattern, frequency, duration, severity, triggers, associated symptoms, sleep habits, lifestyle, and medical history. Special attention may be given to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, dizziness, or visual changes that can occur with childhood migraine.
Personalised Migraine Management
Based on the clinical assessment, the paediatric neurology team can guide families on suitable migraine treatment for children, headache prevention strategies, lifestyle modifications, and symptom monitoring. When required, further investigations may be recommended based on the child’s symptoms and clinical findings.
