Global Epidemiology and Burden of Migraine in Children and Adolescents from 1990 to 2021: Insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
The global burden of migraine in children and adolescents has increased substantially, disproportionately affecting females, adolescents aged 15-19 years, and low-middle SDI regions, while the greatest potential for improvement lies in middle and higher SDI regions, especially Brazil. These findings underscore the need for targeted public health policies and interventions tailored to pediatric migraine across diverse settings.
