Pediatric Migraine
Migraines are severe, throbbing headaches usually accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. The symptoms are sometimes unbearable in adults, making them particularly terrible for kids. If your child suffers from migraines, they may benefit from a clinical trial of a medication already approved in the US for adults.
