title: Problems in childhood migraine.
abstract: There are differences between childhood and adult migraine which justify clinical research. First, inessential differences, such as prominence of systemic upset, indicate need for clinical drug trials. Second, some paroxysmal phenomena of childhood such as paroxysmal torticollis, vertigo, and hemiplegia may be migraine precursors, and need therapeutic trials. Third, some proposed equivalents of migraine in childhood need study and definition, followed by clinical trials.
