Slide 6 Introduction Diagnosis of primary headache disorders is based on clinical criteria specified in the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (International Headache Society).1 Management of migraine includes acute and preventive therapies as well as behavioral and lifestyle changes. Acute treatments must be carefully selected and individually tailored to a patient’s headache pattern, severity, and disability as well as the person’s expectations, needs, and goals of treatment. This practice guideline systematically assess all randomized controlled trials that evaluated acute migraine treatments in children and adolescents. This guideline updates a previous guideline published in 2004 on the treatment of migraine in children and adolescents.

Practice RecommendationsEstablish a Specific Headache DiagnosisRecommendation 1:Rationale Slide 23 The appropriate care of a patient with headaches requires establishing a correct diagnosis. This affects our diagnostic approach, treatment, and prognosis. Patients with signs and symptoms of secondary headache, such as sudden change in headache, papilledema, focal deficits, and the additional presence of seizures, require further evaluation beyond a thorough history and physical examination. When migraine is diagnosed, tailored treatments may be considered that can result in improved outcomes.19 Diagnostic criteria for pediatric migraine include at least 5 headaches over the past year that last 2−72 hours when untreated, with 2 of 4 additional features (pulsatile quality, unilateral, worsening with activity or limiting activity, moderate to severe in intensity), and association with at least nausea, vomiting, photophobia, or phonophobia. These associated symptoms can be inferred by family report of the child’s activities. The time a child sleeps can be considered part of the headache duration. Auras typically occur in about one third of older children and adolescents and precede the headache by 5−60 minutes.1

Practice RecommendationsAcute Migraine Treatment Recommendation 2:Rationale Slide 25 Migraine treatment should aim to achieve fast, complete pain relief, with minimum side effects. Associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia should also be addressed. In adults, early treatment of migraine (within less than 1 hour of headache onset) improves pain-free rates.20 Improved efficacy with early treatment is likely to be seen in children and adolescents as well. Many children and adolescents use and benefit from nonprescription oral analgesics like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen.21 Triptans are less commonly prescribed in children than in adults, and only almotriptan (for patients aged 12 years and older), rizatriptan (for patients aged 6–17 years), sumatriptan/naproxen (for patients aged 12 years and older), and zolmitriptan NS (for patients aged 12 years and older) are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in children. Ergots and oral naproxen alone have not been studied in children.

Practice RecommendationsAcute Migraine TreatmentRecommendation 3:Rationale Slide 27 Patients respond differently to the same medication. In adults, failure to respond to one triptan does not preclude response to an alternate triptan.22 In adults, a second dose of triptan at 2 hours does not increase initial efficacy or prevent or delay headache recurrence but is effective in treating migraine recurrence.23 Children might have the same experience, but product monograph daily maximum doses must be followed. Migraine features (severity, associated symptoms, disability, and most bothersome symptoms) differ among individuals and among different attacks in the same individual.24 Intranasal sumatriptan and zolmitriptan are absorbed more quickly than the oral form25,26 and have a faster onset of action.27,28 For migraines that rapidly peak in severity or are associated with nausea and vomiting, nonoral forms of treatment may be more effective. Thus, children with migraine may benefit from more than one acute treatment choice and different delivery routes, depending on their individual headache characteristics.

Practice RecommendationsAcute Migraine TreatmentRecommendation 4:Rationale Slide 29 Sumatriptan/naproxen OT (10/60 mg, 30/180 mg, and 85/500 mg) is more likely than placebo to result in headache pain-free status at 2 hours. Sumatriptan and naproxen have a different pharmacokinetic profiles targeted to aid in migraine relief.29 In adults, the sumatriptan/naproxen combination OT is more effective than monotherapy with either component.30 Because of cost and insurance issues, not all patients have access to all available formulations of medications. Given the distinct mechanisms of action among medications in the triptan class and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, the addition of an NSAID to a triptan may improve rates of pain response and pain-free status .

Practice RecommendationsTreatment of Associated SymptomsRecommendation 5:Rationale Slide 31 Migraine is typically accompanied by other symptoms (nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia) in addition to head pain. Antiemetics are often prescribed along with specific (triptan) and nonspecific (NSAID) migraine treatments to address nausea and vomiting and to speed the rate of medication absorption. In pediatric migraine trials, the treatment effects on migraine-associated symptoms were less pronounced than the treatment effects on pain. While photophobia and phonophobia were responsive to zolmitriptan nasal spray and sumatriptan/naproxen, none of the treatments studied had demonstrated effectiveness against nausea or vomiting. Antiemetics are available to treat nausea and vomiting related to other pediatric conditions (acute gastroenteritis, postoperative state, chemotherapy)31,32 and may be of benefit for migraine-associated nausea, although no clinical trials specifically evaluating antiemetics for pediatric migraine-associated nausea have been performed. Nasal spray formulations of zolmitriptan and sumatriptan may be easier to administer in adolescents with migraine with prominent nausea and/or vomiting .

Practice RecommendationsCounselingRecommendation 6:Rationale Slide 33 Patient education can improve patient safety and adherence to interventions. It is important to learn about the behavioral aspects of self-care that might improve migraine, including healthy habits with lifestyle modification, potential migraine triggers/aggravating factors, and the risk of overusing medication. Maintaining a headache diary is helpful to track response to any new therapy. Patients and families will benefit from understanding the limitations of current available treatments. Overuse of medication to treat acute attacks has been associated with medication overuse headache in adults33 but has not been well studied in children. Methods to prevent medication overuse headache are included in adult treatment plans.

Practice RecommendationsContraindications and Precautions to Triptan UseRecommendation 7:Rationale Slide 35 According to the FDA, triptans are contraindicated in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, including stroke, transient ischemic attacks, myocardial infarction, severe peripheral vascular disease, ischemic bowel disease, and coronary vasospasm, including Prinzmetal angina. Triptans are also contraindicated in patients with cardiac accessory conduction pathway disorders, including Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Although the 2004 American Headache Society consensus statement does not consider these as absolute contraindications,34 these contraindications are based on the known pharmacology of the triptans35 and triptan effects on vascular muscle.36 While these medical contraindications are less prevalent in the pediatric population, they are important to consider. .

Practice RecommendationsContraindications and Precautions to Triptan UseRecommendation 8:Rationale Slide 37 In adults who have migraine with typical aura, there is evidence that it is safe to take triptans during the aura, although the triptan may be more effective if taken at the onset of pain.37,38 The use of triptans during the aura phase is of concern because of potential difficulties differentiating early stroke symptoms from migraine aura. While this is unlikely a problem in those with established migraine with visual aura, caution is warranted in those with more complex aura presentations. According to the FDA, triptans are contraindicated in those with a history of hemiplegic aura or migraine with brainstem aura. This contraindication was based on a view of migraine pathophysiology that is no longer considered current.

Suggestions for Future Research Slide 39 Most adults with migraine have onset in childhood or adolescence. Accurate diagnosis and treatment in childhood and adolescence can prevent migraine-related disability and significantly improve quality of life.19 Lifestyle modifications and acute pharmacologic treatments are the mainstay of management. Although the pathophysiology of migraine is presumed to be the same as in adults, a higher placebo response is observed in children and adolescents, with a lower therapeutic gain measured in clinical trials.39 Patterns of migraine presentation and associated symptoms in children and adolescents evolve into the adult patterns and their shortest headaches may be shorter in duration.1 These factors should be considered when designing clinical trials. The fact that all acute treatment trials in children and adolescents are performed after proven efficacy in adults may be a contributor to the expectation response adding to the placebo effect. This expectation response is widely seen in pain studies and may explain why so few trials of acute migraine therapy in children and adolescents have shown positive results.
Slide 41-

Suggestions for Future Research (continued) Slide 40 Although there is a growing body of evidence to support recommendations for the acute treatment of pediatric migraine, challenges remain. Many children and adolescents do not respond to treatment at home with NSAIDs and triptans and seek pain relief at an emergency department or infusion center.40 Trials of refractory headache treatment in children and adolescents have been conducted41 but therapeutic approaches in these circumstances vary.42 Studies are also needed of alternate delivery routes for acute treatments such as transdermal patches because oral medications are poorly absorbed in children and adolescents with nausea and vomiting. Regardless of the strategy chosen for acute migraine therapy, treatment plans should be individually tailored to the patient and family and include education about migraine prevention strategies.
