Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Migraine impacts 4%-11% of elementary school children, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • Accurate diagnosis in this age group is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a migraine screening questionnaire for general pediatricians.
  • To validate the questionnaire for diagnosing migraine in children aged 5-12.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the McMaster Migraine Tool based on International Classification of Headache Disorders-II criteria.
  • Assessed questionnaire validity by comparing its diagnoses with those of a pediatric neurologist.
  • Evaluated ease of use by families.

Main Results:

  • The McMaster Migraine Tool demonstrated 84% sensitivity and 69% specificity in diagnosing migraine.
  • The tool was used on 69 children referred to a Pediatric Neurology Clinic.
  • Families rated the questionnaire's ease of use as 9 out of 10.

Conclusions:

  • The McMaster Migraine Tool is a potentially valuable aid for diagnosing migraine in children aged 5-12.
  • Its ease of use and completion facilitate expedited diagnosis and management.
  • Widespread application could improve pediatric migraine care.
