[Migraine in childhood and adolescence-neurostimulation as a future innovative approach in terms of a multimodal treatment regimen].
Bundesgesundheitsblatt-gesundheitsforschung-gesundheitsschutz(2020)
Abstract
Although migraine is a relevant health issue in children and adolescents, clinical care and research are still underrepresented and underfunded in this field. Quality of life can be significantly reduced when living with frequent episodes of pain. Due to the high level of vulnerability of the developing brain during adolescence, the risk of chronification and persistence into adulthood is high. In this narrative review, we describe the corner stones of a patient-centered, multimodular treatment regimen. Further, an update on the pathophysiology of migraine is given considering the concept of a periodically oscillating functional state of the brain in migraine patients (\"migraine is a brain state\"). Besides central mechanisms, muscular structures with the symptoms of muscular pain, tenderness, or myofascial trigger points play an important role. Against this background, the currently available nonpharmacological and innovative neuromodulating approaches are presented focusing on the method of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation.
