N2 - Migraine commonly affects adolescents, and menstrual migraine often begins in young girls. If undiagnosed or ineffectively treated, migraine can lead to disability, school absenteeism, emotional or social difficulties, and chronification of headache. Thus, recognizing and accurately diagnosing migraine and menstrual migraine, developing effective treatment strategies (both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic), and educating both the adolescent and her parents are important in order to minimize the potential early disability of this disorder and limit the otherwise likely progression of migraine to a disabling disorder of adulthood.
