[Treatment of migraine in children].
Simple migraine attacks are usually controlled by rest and an analgesic (acetylsalicylic acid or paracetamol), eventually associated with metoclopramide. More severe cases with failure of these measures may benefit from antimigraine medications such as ergotamine derivatives. Preventive treatment is only indicated in case of frequent (> or = 3 per month) and complicated attacks.
