HSC: Kids' Health
For many children with migraine, attacks can involve episodes of abdominalpain with vomiting. This form is called abdominal migraine.
http://www.sickkids.on.ca/kidshealth/summer02vol3issue2/migraines.asp

Extractions: Migraine headaches are much more common in young people than most people think. Experts estimate that approximately 10 per cent of migraine sufferers are children under the age of 15. Children, even babies, can experience devastating effects, especially where a family history of migraine exists. Migraine is not just a bad headache. Migraine is a biological disorder of the central nervous system that is frequently inherited. Although migraine is not life threatening, the symptoms of a migraine attack can profoundly disrupt a sufferer's life, and can place enormous strain on families. While twice as many adult women as men suffer from migraine, boys are more likely than girls to experience attacks in childhood. The good news is that as many as one-third of all children outgrow their migraine. Enlist your child's help in searching for migraine triggers: Isolating and identifying your child's triggers things that may provoke an attack is an important first step in reducing the number of migraine attacks that are experienced.

Extractions: Of Course,not every headache is a migraine attack,so it's important to be able to recognize the differences.In fact if you suffer from headaches,migraine isn't the most likely cause of them only around 10 percent of the population are migraine sufferers,and around 88 percent of all headaches are classified as "tension headaches" This term is very misleading,and it would be better to call them "muscle contraction headaches."The pain is caused by sustained contraction of the muscles in the face,neck,shoulders,and /or jaw which in turn affects the nerves of the head and cause pain.The pain is decribed as "dull," "steady," "like a helmet,"and is often on both sides of the head. It may occur daily.These types of headaches can be one-sided,and may be confused with migraine attacks.Acute attacks are usually triggered by stress or anxiety,and repond well to relaxtion and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Although dietary factors are not a major cause of tension headaches,a hectic lifestyle can lead to a poor diet and missed meals.This in turn can lead to problems with bloor sugar levels,which cause headaches.A good diet,with regular,nutritious meals,may help to restore good health and well-being.Nervous tension tends to lead to the production of high levels of adrenaline and other "stress chemicals" in the body.These are designed to prepare the body for a "flight or fight" response to danger but one of the side effects is to increase muscle tension.

http://www.aboutkidsgi.org/CVS.html

Extractions: Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome was first described about 120 years ago by Dr. Samuel Gee, the erudite British physician. Interest in the syndrome was revived when Kathleen Adams, a parent of an affected child founded the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association in 1993. She enlisted the support of pediatric gastroenterologists Drs. David Fleisher and B U.K. Li, who recognized that better treatment of the disorder would only occur if the syndrome could be scientifically defined for medical researchers. The result of this effort has been three scientific meetings on the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. The first international meeting was in 1994 and the latter two in Milwaukee in 1998 and 2000. These meetings and some 70 publications since have defined Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) as a condition characterized by recurrent, stereotypical bouts of intense vomiting interspersed with periods of completely normal health. The average child with CVS starts bouts of cyclic vomiting at 5.2 years of age and has been affected for 2.6 years before diagnosis. Females and males are equally affected (55:45).

Extractions: (Edited by Peter Murphy) The following discussion is based on the presentation made by Dr. Bryan Lynch, Consultant paediatric Neurologist, Temple Street Hospital Dublin at our September seminar in Cork. Between 4% and 11% of children have Migraine. It can be present in infants only a few months old. Migraine in children can be very difficult to diagnose because the syndromes are different, yet the treatments are quite similar and there is a favourable outlook for its treatment. A diagnosis of migraine is made almost entirely on the details given to the doctor by the patient. The same conditions need to be met for diagnosing migraine in children as in adults. For example, the headaches must be recurrent and the patient must be otherwise normal between attacks. The doctor will also look for a family history of migraine. Apart from a regular examination, further tests (CAT scans etc.) are normally not needed if the diagnosis is clear from the account given by the patient/ parent(s). When diagnosing Migraine in children, the Prensky criteria are used. These criteria stipulate that at least 3 of the following 6 features must be present in order for a diagnosis of migraine to be made:

http://www.aafp.org/afp/990401ap/1823.html

Extractions: Advanced Search More than one third of children complain of abdominal pain lasting two weeks or longer. The diagnostic approach to abdominal pain in children relies heavily on the history provided by the parent and child to direct a step-wise approach to investigation. If the history and physical examination suggest functional abdominal pain, constipation or peptic disease, the response to an empiric course of medical management is of greater value than multiple "exclusionary" investigations. A symptom diary allows the child to play an active role in the diagnostic process. The medical management of constipation, peptic disease and inflammatory bowel disease involves nutritional strategies, pharmacologic intervention and behavior and psychologic support. C hronic abdominal pain in children is defined as pain of more than two weeks' duration. The pain may be persistent or recurrent. It is a frustrating concern to the child, the parents and the physician. The differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children varies with age, gender, genetic predisposition, nutritional exposure and many environmental factors. While efforts to distinguish organic from functional abdominal pain are admirable, these apparently opposing etiologies are not mutually exclusive in children, since psychologic complications of organic disease are common.
Learning About Cyclic Vomiting
This disorder is sometimes referred to as abdominal migraine , althoughthere may be no headache accompanying the vomiting. References
http://www.tr.wou.edu/dblink/crsvom.htm

Extractions: Editor, NFADB newsletter Ed note: I recently received a copy of the Orphan Disease Update, a newsletter published by the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). In a column entitled "New Support Groups", the name of one group jumped out at me - the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association. Although there have been more than a few reports of cyclic vomiting in some individuals with congenital rubella syndrome, I had never heard of such a syndrome. I contacted Kathleen Adams at CVSA and she sent me a whole bunch of information. The following is a summary of their fact sheet. "Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome is a rare unexplained disorder of children and some adults which causes intense suffering in those affected and their families. The disease is characterized by recurrent episodes of severe vomiting, nausea and prostration with no apparent cause. Episodes are self-limited and tend to be similar to each other in symptoms and durations. Occurrences are often not predictable and usually end in a dramatically sudden way regardless of treatment. The child is often in good health and symptom-free between episodes. Dr. Samuel Gee was the first to describe CVS in the medical literature in 1882.(1) The onset of symptoms occurs in infancy through adulthood but most commonly age 3-7. The disorder can persist for months to decades and each episode may last from hours to 10 days or more (most commonly 1-4 days). Episodes may occur several times a year to several times a month. Males and females alike are affected without regard to family situation or world-wide location. There is often a family history of migraine and the child may have allergies, asthma and/or motion sickness. The disorder frequently fades out during adolescence and also may begin to manifest as migraine headaches.

Extractions: Many effective headache remedies are now available for treating a migraine attack. Still, a 2000 survey of European migraineurs found that half seek no treatment from a doctor, perhaps because of the stigma of migraine. And, only 27% of patients were given medications that were consistently effective. It should be noted that as many as 30% of migraine sufferers also have accompanying headaches resulting from tension, drugs, infections, or other causes. It is important to distinguish between headache types in order to determine appropriate treatment. [ See Table Drugs Used for Migraines General Guidelines. The general goals of treatment are the following: On the advice of the physician, choose drugs with as few side effects as possible. Patients should discuss various methods for administering the medication (pills, injections, nasal spray, or rectal suppositories) and begin with one they believe will be the least distressing.

Extractions: For the last month my 13 year old has had recurring headaches and stomach aches. She has been tested for a urine infection but otherwise all that is being suggested is a viral infection. Should the GP be looking for anything else? Should I ask for blood tests? (She is happy in school and generally.) Headaches and vague abdominal pains are both common in young people. If they are happening at the same time a form of Migraine may be the underlying cause. Migraines classically cause quite severe headaches, often unilateral, and associated with visual disturbances, nausea and vomiting. What is termed "abdominal migraine" is sometimes seen in young people, and abdominal pains, often associated with nausea and vomiting appear worse than the actual headache. Various foods, and caffeine containing drinks can trigger these attacks and there are a range of medications for both the treatment and prevention of migraine attacks which may be of help to your daughter.
