Abstract

To explore the relationship between migraine attack onset in children and adolescents and Chinooks, which are dry and warm westerly winds that generally occur in the winter and bring about abrupt weather changes to the east of the Rocky Mountains in Southern Alberta, Canada.

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.
