Abstract
Background: Headache is a common complaint in children and adolescents and is associated with substantial impairment, particularly in the educational sphere. It is often comorbid with a range of physical and mental health problems including asthma, allergies, sleep disorders, suicidal ideation, depression and anxiety.
Aim of the Work: The purpose of this study was to study EEG changes in a clinic-based sample of migraineurs using the new International Classification of Headache Disorders Criteria third edition, beta version.
Patients and Methods: The current study was a cross sectional one which was conducted in the Pediatric Neurology Clinic, Children’s Hospital, Ain Shams University. It included 100 migraineurs patients aging between 3-12 years during the period from January 2017 – May 2018.
Results: There is a significant difference between severity of headache and gender showing that most of cases with mild headache were females and most of cases with severe headache were males. There is significant difference between severity of headache and abnormal EEG findings.
Conclusion: from our study we concluded that EEG is a noninvasive, rapid, safe and validated technique that measures brain activity. PedMIDAS is an important tool in assessment of migraine disability in pediatric patients.
Recommendations: For future research in this field we suggest increasing the sample of patients to allow better analysis and better results. ICHD III should be used to confirm diagnosis of headache for proper diagnosis. PedMIDAS Score is recommended to be done to all patients suffering from migraine for follow up of treatment.
