MONREALE, Italy, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Nearly 40 percent of children and teens with migraines lose them 10 years later, and another 20 percent develop less severe headaches, an Italian study found.
Researchers screened all of the children and teens age 11 to 14 in school in the town of Monreale, Italy, for headaches, and checked up on those with migraines five and 10 years later.
Of the 55 children who had migraines at the beginning of the study, 38 percent no longer had any headaches 10 years later. Another 20 percent no longer had migraines but had tension-type headaches, according to study author Dr. Rosolino Camarda, a neurologist at the University of Palermo.
"This is great news for children and teens who are dealing with migraine headache," said Camarda.
