Pediatric Migraine: Who, What, When, Where
This talk will address important aspects of pediatric migraine research, including: 1) Who is affected by pediatric migraine? 2) What does pediatric migraine look like, and what does a clinician need to do to reach a migraine diagnosis in a child? 3) When does pediatric migraine begin, and how might it present clinically before it presents as headache (e.g., infant colic, benign paroxysmal torticollis, cyclic vomiting syndrome etc.) 4) Where does responsibility for decreasing pediatric migraine frequency rest? What is society's role in preventing migraine in young people?
Migraine Headache: the revolution and its evolution
This seminar will focus on the extraordinary shift in migraine research during the last 4 decades with the discovery of the trigeminovascular system (TVS) and it’s major impact on pathophysiology and treatment. Compelling evidence supporting the importance of TVS, cortical spreading depression and parameningeal inflammation will be explored as will the implications of newly discovered microvascular channels within the meninges on an attack.
