National #headache day at @bambinogesu hospital. Fruitful meeting with the parents of #children and #adolescents suffering from #migraine @SISCCefalee @ihs_official @EHF_Official

New in Cephalalgia!
In migraine of children and adolescents, brain networks play different roles by sex: males show altered sensory–affective circuits, females altered cognitive–attentive ones—the instruments and conductors of pain processing.

A new study analyzed treatments for medication-overuse headache. The most effective approaches combined migraine prevention treatments with nerve blocks or anti-CGRP therapies. In contrast, stopping medication wasn’t very effective. https://t.co/iKPI80fIL7

We investigated #MR morphometric similarity in #children and #adolescents with #migraine. Distinct features separating girls and boys may represent a potential structural signature of sex-specific disease mechanisms.

2025 Highlights in headache in children and adolescents
Laura Papetti

• Migraine in young people is no longer seen as just a neurological condition — it’s a developing, biopsychosocial process shaped by brain, behaviour, and environment

• 2025 research highlights how psychological factors, resilience, and early life experiences strongly influence migraine severity and long-term outcomes

• Studies show that anxiety, depression, pain catastrophising, and multisite pain can all affect disability and treatment response

• Education matters: stigma often begins in adolescence, making awareness among parents, teachers, and caregivers a vital part of care

• Early psychological, educational, and biopsychosocial interventions can change the trajectory of migraine across the lifespan

• A key focus for the future: integrated care models and smoother transitions from paediatric to adult services

• Bottom line: supporting a child with migraine today helps shape a healthier adult tomorrow

More Cephalalgia 2025 editorials coming soon — stay tuned.

🧒🧠 Call for Papers: Cephalalgia Topical Collection – Headache in Children and Adolescents

Guest Editors: Andrew Hershey, Aynur Ozge, Massimiliano Valeriani

Headache disorders in pediatric populations are common, complex, and often under-recognized. This Topical Collection of Cephalalgia will explore the unique aspects of headache in children and adolescents - from epidemiology and pathophysiology to diagnosis, management, and long-term outcomes.

🔍 We invite submissions on topics including:
• Pediatric headache epidemiology and burden
• Clinical phenotypes and diagnostic challenges
• Genetic and environmental influences
• Treatment strategies and preventive approaches
• Impact on education, mental health, and quality of life
• Transition from pediatric to adult care

📄 Both invited and spontaneous submissions are welcome.
📌 Follow Cephalalgia’s standard submission guidelines.

📨 Submit your work and be part of this important initiative!

Il virus di Epstein-Barr, che causa la mononucleosi, svolge un ruolo diretto nell'insorgenza della sclerosi multipla nei bambini e nei ragazzi. Sono i risultati di uno studio condotto dal
Bambin Gesù di Roma e pubblicato sul Journal of Neurology, che apre la strada alla possibilità di mettere a punto strategie di prevenzione e a vaccini specifici. I dati rafforzano dunque l'ipotesi di un nesso causale tra virus di Epstein-Barr e insorgenza della sclerosi multipla anche in età pediatrica.
Questa scoperta rinforza ancora di più la necessità di un vaccino, come il candidato mRNA-1189 di Moderna, che è ancora in fase di ricerca e sperimentazione clinica e mira proprio a prevenire l'infezione da EBV e le malattie correlate. Sarà l’ennesimo schiaffo scientifico al mondo novax.
