Migraine without aura
Most migraine (about 80%) is of this type.
- Premonitory symptoms (changes in mood, appetite, thirst, arousal, etc.).
- Headache lasting 30 minutes to 48 hours in children. This may be the only phase of which the patient is aware. In children the pain may be bilateral and is not always throbbing or pulsating in nature.
- Accompanying symptoms occur and are prominent in children - such as, sensitivity to light (photophobia), sounds (phonophobia) and smells, gastrointestinal disturbance, tiredness, etc.
- Postdromes (fatigue, depression).
