Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: prophylactic pharmacologic treatments have little evidence supporting efficacy in pediatric migraine.

Reviewers’ commentary: this network meta-analysis does not provide evidence to support the prophylactic pharmacological treatment of childhood migraine versus placebo. Acute treatment and counseling about lifestyle measures may be the most important aspect of migraine management in daily practice.
