Are headache researchers beginning to study treatments for adolescent headache sufferers?
Adolescent headache has been a very quiet area of research. There will be more triptan-oriented research published in the near future, but we also need more and better studies of preventive medicine. Topiramate may eventually be confirmed as an effective agent for adolescents. A recent study showed that adolescents with significant headache problems often experience as much, or more, emotional and school-related impairment as children with rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.
