Abdominal migraine is a type of migraine that mostly affects children, showing up as stomach pain instead of the usual head pain we think of with migraine. Diagnosing abdominal migraine in children can be difficult and stressful for the whole family. However, getting the right diagnosis is very important. It’s the first step towards finding effective treatment and helping your child feel better. In addition, by educating yourself about this neurological disorder, believing your child’s experiences, and seeking support for both yourself and your child, we hope you can empower them to manage this disorder effectively and live more comfortably.
