Coenzyme Q10 deficiency and response to supplementation in pediatric and adolescent migraine.

Background: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has been suggested to be effective in the prevention of migraine, and levels can be quantified with standardized reference ranges.

Objective: This study documents the prevalence of CoQ10 deficiency in migraine headache and examines the potential effectiveness of supplementation.

Methods: We assessed patients attending a tertiary care center with frequent headaches for CoQ10 deficiency.

Outcome of a multidisciplinary approach to pediatric migraine at 1, 2, and 5 years.

Objective: To assess the long-term effectiveness and outcome of multidisciplinary treatment of childhood headaches 1, 2, and 5 years after initial treatment.

Background: Headaches are a common problem for children and adolescents and for many patients continue into adulthood. Outcome research for pediatric migraine headaches is limited, thus restricting knowledge of the effectiveness of long-term management and outcome.
