Vestibular Migraine in Adolescents

Abstract

Migraine is a recurrent throbbing headache that affects one side of the head and is usually related to nausea and decreased vision. Migraine is typically seen in adolescents due to increased use of electronic devices and computers. It is a non communicable disease.10 percent patients with migraine suffer from vestibular migraine. Vertigo in children can lead to migraine and continue in adults too. Preventing the vertigo attacks in children and adolescents can help in the treatment of migraine. Behavioural therapy is an important factor in treatment of migraine in this age. 40% of migraine patients have some associated vestibular symptoms which includes dizziness and disturbed balance. An elevated comorbidity of migraine and vertigo was discovered in several patient categories and later verified at the community level, far exceeding what random chance would predict. Vertigo is substantially more commonly seen in migraine sufferers, particularly those with aura, than in headache-free controls. Migraine is one of the most disturbing diseases in USA, is nearly as common as hypertension and more common than asthma and diabetes. Migraine and vestibular symptoms can coexist with inner ear disorders. It is a difficult condition to diagnose and treat. Multiple temporal patterns are responsible for this. The most common cause of vertigo in children is vestibular migraine (VM). Clinical findings and laboratory test results have been found in a sample of children and adolescents suffering from Vestibular migraine. Recent classification criteria for dizzy children are discussed and their limitations. Migraine is typically seen in adolescents due to increased use of electronic devices and computers. It is a non-communicable disease. 10 percent patients with migraine suffer from vestibular migraine.
