Cognitive and Emotional Functioning in Pediatric Migraine Relative to Healthy Controls

Chronic migraine (CM) refers to headaches occurring on 15 or more days per month over a 3-month period, with at least 8 of those days involving migraines. CM commonly co-occurs with psychological disorders, especially depression and anxiety. It has also been shown to disrupt some cognitive processes (e.g., attention, memory) in adults. However, fewer studies have examined cognitive functioning in children with CM. We investigated whether children with CM differ from healthy controls in memory, attention, and depression.
