Abstract Background Migraine affects roughly 10% of youth aged 5–15 years, however the underlying mechanisms of migraine in youth are poorly understood. Multiple structural and functional alterations have been shown in the brains of adult migraine sufferers. This study aims to investigate the effects of migraine on resting-state functional connectivity during the period of transition from childhood to adolescence, a critical period of brain development and the time when rates of pediatric chronic pain spikes. Methods Using independent component analysis, we compared resting state network spatial maps and power spectra between youth with migraine aged 7–15 and age-matched controls. Statistical comparisons were conducted using a MANCOVA analysis. Results We show (1) group by age interaction effects on connectivity in the visual and salience networks, group by sex interaction effects on connectivity in the default mode network and group by pubertal status interaction effects on connectivity in visual and frontal parietal networks, and (2) relationships between connectivity in the visual networks and the migraine cycle, and age by cycle interaction effects on connectivity in the visual, default mode and sensorimotor networks. Conclusions We demonstrate that brain alterations begin early in youth with migraine and are modulated by development. This highlights the need for further study into the neural mechanisms of migraine in youth specifically, to aid in the development of more effective treatments.

The present study takes into consideration some of the symptoms comprised in the Periodic Syndrome. These include motion-sickness, cyclic vomiting, recurrent abdominal pains and paroxysmal vertigo. Particular consideration is given to the chronological and long-term aspects of such symptoms. Among 247 migraine sufferers in the pediatric age group, 173 subjects who complained of at least one of these symptoms were chosen. Results of the data show that motion-sickness is the first to manifest itself (mean age of onset 2 years), and has a tendency to continue into the headache period; cyclic vomiting appears in the third year of life, and terminates sooner than the other symptoms. At the mean age of five years abdominal pains start, and at seven, paroxysmal vertigo. Headache is the final symptom in this group. The sequentiality of such disturbances in each subject leads to the assumption that the Periodic Syndrome is the expression of a single disorder which manifests itself polymorphously as a rather precisely timed process. Parmi les symptômes qui constituent le syndrome periodique de l'enfance, nous prenons en considération, dans cette étude, le mal d'auto, les vomissements cycliques, les douleurs abdominales récurrentes et les vertiges paroxystiques; nous en considérons particulièrement les aspects chronologiques et l'évolution à long terme. Il s'agit de 173 sujets, choisis parmi 247 migraineux en âge évolutif, qui ont présenté au moins un des symptômes que nous avons étudiés. L'analyse des données révèle que le mal d'auto est le premier qui se manifeste (au cours de la 2èMe année) et qu'il tend à continuer au-delà du moment où apparait la céphalée; au cours de la 3eMe année apparaissent les vomissements cycliques cui cessent plus tôt que les autres troubles; par la suite, vers l'âge de 5 ans, commencent les douleurs abdominales et vers 7 ans les vertiges paroxystiques; enfin apparait la céphalée. L'observation de la séquence de ces troubles chez les différents sujets nous amène à penser que le Syndrome périodique est l'expression d'un potentiel pathogène unique qui s'exprime à travers des aspects polymorphes selon une séquence temporelle assez précise. Fra i sintomi che costituiscono la Sindrome periodica dell'infanzia, nel presente studio prendiamo in esame il mal d'auto, i vomiti ciclici, i dolori addominali ricorrenti e le vertigini parossistiche, considerandone in particolare gli aspetti cronologici e di evoluzione a lungo termine. Si tratta di 173 soggetti, scelti fra 247 emicranici in età evolutiva che hanno lamentato almeno uno dei sintomi da noi considerati. Dall'analisi dei dati emerge che il mal d'auto si manifesta per primo (Il anno di vita) e tende a protrarsi oltre il momento d'insorgenza della cefalea; nel III anno compaiono i vomiti ciclici che si estinguono più precocemente degli altri disturbi; successivamente, verso i 5 anni, iniziano i dolori addominali e verso i 7 anni le vertigini parossistiche. Infine compare la cefalea. L'osservazione della sequenzialità di tali disturbi nei singoli soggetti ci fa pensare che la Sindrome periodica sia l'espressione di un unico potenziale patogeno che si estrinseca in aspetti polimorfi con una sequenza temporale abbastanza precisa.

Aim The aim of this article is to compare 90-day and 30-day recall of Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment (PedMIDAS) elements and headache frequency against daily entries from an Internet headache diary among pediatric patients and their parents. Methods In a prospective cohort study, patients aged 10–18 years with episodic migraine or probable migraine completed a 90-day Internet-based headache diary that incorporated PedMIDAS questions. Following the 90-day diary period, patients and parents completed modified PedMIDAS instruments to assess 90-day and 30-day recall. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to measure recall reliability. The Kruskal-Wallis and Jonckheere-Terpstra tests were used to explore recall accuracy as it relates to each participant’s self-reported confidence in recall and to patient age. Results Fifty-two subjects completed 90 consecutive diary entries. Comparing 30-day to 90-day recall of PedMIDAS elements, ICC scores improved by 26.2% (patients) and 17.5% (parents). Patients had better recall than their parents for all study measures. Self-reported confidence in recall and patient age had limited and inconsistent effects on recall accuracy. Conclusion The optimal recall interval to assess migraine disability must balance recall accuracy with generalizability across a range of headache frequencies. When compared to daily diary entries, recall accuracy of PedMIDAS elements and headache frequency improves at 30 days compared to 90 days. Parent report of migraine disability should not be used as a replacement for patient report.
