Personality and memory in childhood migraine.
A series of neuropsychological tests were administered to a group of healthy children and another group suffering from common migraine. The tests demonstrated that children with common migraine do not have definitely abnormal personality traits even though inhibition of aggressivity and greater anxiety levels following certain environmental stimuli were seen. We also observed a decreased short- and long-term memory function in children with common migraine.
