 Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of headache and associated symptoms. The condition affects approximately 11 of the child population and it can impose considerable burdens on the sufferer either due to the headache itself, or associated co-morbidities such as psychological stress, obesity, sleep problems, etc. Increasing attention is focussing on the shared genetic, environmental and neurobiological mechanisms of migraine co-morbidities to gain further insights into improving outcomes.
