Description
Summary:The relationship between sleep disturbances and headaches in the pediatric population is bidirectional. Common underlying molecular mechanisms of sleep and headaches have been speculated to explain the clinical connection. We will summarize various sleep disturbances and their known relationships to headache, focusing on the pediatric population. Careful recognition and assessment of sleep disturbances in patients with headache is critical and may help guide treatment. First line therapies for sleep disturbances consist of behavioral approaches, though surgical and pharmacologic strategies are utilized in particular circumstances.
