Summary

The aim of this observational study was to investigate the long-term effects of patients receiving interventional transcutaneous electrode-pulsed radiofrequency therapy versus calcium channel blockers for the treatment of childhood migraine pain. The main question to be answered was. Which of the long-term effects of interventional transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency versus calcium channel blockers for the treatment of childhood migraine pain is more effective? Participants who have started both treatments will answer questions about their headaches in an online survey for 3 months as part of their regular medical care.

Detailed description

There are two groups in the trial. One group will receive transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency treatment for a total of 3 weekly sessions. The other group will receive 1x 5 mg flunarizine active ingredient. Both groups will consist of 30 patients. All patients will be followed from the start of treatment and will be assessed at month 1 and month 3 using the paediatric migraine disability index, headache diaries and visual pain scale.
