Therapeutic value

Current treatment options CGRP-antagonisten zijn nog niet geregistreerd voor deze leeftijdsgroep. Bij kinderen zijn voor de aanvalsbehandeling van migraine paracetamol, eventueel met een anti-emeticum, de eerste keus. NSAID's zijn tweede keus. Triptanen zijn derde keus. Binnen de groep triptanen gaat de voorkeur uit naar sumatriptan neusspray op grond van bewezen werkzaamheid.
