Despite being common, migraine is often still misunderstood – especially when it comes to children.
“Children do get migraine. The youngest I have ever seen is 18 months, but the usual age range is between six and 15 years,” says consultant paediatric neurologist Dr Arif Khan, who completed his training in the UK and is now based in the Middle East, where he founded children’s neuroscience centre, Neuropedia.
