Children That Get Migraines Perform Worse in School

Really? 

There was a study conducted to see how much the schoolwork of a child with migraines is affected. Depending on the frequency of the migraines theses kids were between 1.3 and 1.6 more likely to perform below average in school in comparison to kids who did not experience them.



A neurologist in a pediatric hospital hopes that studies like this will help children with migraines to get swifter treatment.  These kids have to deal with the physical pain of these headaches and also with adults and parents who don't understand their condition.
