The occurrence of sleep troubles, recurrent abdominal pain, motion sickness, hyperactivity, dizziness, limb pain, cyclic vomiting, pseudoangine and the headache or migraine family history have been studied in 68 children migraine sufferers and compared to 68 non-headache sufferers whose ages range from 7 to 15. Data have revealed a significant predominance of those symptoms and family histories in migraine sufferers except pseudoangine which has had no significance, sleep troubles significant only in males and limb pains in females. The possibility of considering those factors as migraine risk factors is discussed.
