title: [Care continuity for migraine in children and adolescents].
abstract: The prevalence of migraine in the junior high school children in Japan has been reported as 4.8% (male, 3.3%; female, 6.5%). In addition, their mental stress and poor sleep quality have been increased in the recent childhood daily life, and therefore, the development into chronic daily headache has also become more common. The early intervention, including reassurance, regular circadian rhythm, and prophylactic medication, is important for resolving chronic headache in childhood and adolescence.
