Adolescence can be an exciting time for children. The transition towards adulthood can bring forth several new emotional and physical changes. Changes in lifestyle can result in special disorders affecting the younger generation. One such condition affecting adolescents is migraine. This neurological ailment remains second among the causes of disability in the world. In 2021, a study found that 488 million people in India had headache disorders, of which 213 million were suffering from migraine. The condition often begins during adolescence and gets worse until peaking in their thirties. Hence, it is important to get them screened when the symptoms show and adopt a holistic approach that prevents migraine attacks from affecting their quality of life.
