Abstract

This study explored the relationship between pain catastrophizing and migraine‐related outcomes (i.e., migraine‐related disability and headache frequency) between visits with a neurologist in a clinical population of children and adolescents with migraine.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence.
