Food intake before migraine attacks in children.

A questionnaire survey of 120 children with migraine showed an average age of onset of 5.15 years, an equal sex ratio under nine years, and a positive family history in 79 per cent. Eye symptoms (42 per cent) and headaches (32 per cent) heralded an attack, with abdominal pain and vomiting later and less frequent. Visual aura was not recognized under five years, but occurred in 52 per cent of the 13 to 15 year age group. Most attacks occurred on schooldays and 82 per cent were over within two days.The 24-hour food intake before an attack was compared with the food intake seven days later when no migraine occurred. This suggested that fasting (41 per cent) or specific foods (38 per cent) could have been responsible for many of the attacks.

Prenatal progesterone and educational attainments.

Children whose mothers received prenatal progesterone have been shown to be advanced in development at one year and to have greater academic achievement at 9-10 years. This study compares the educational attainments at 17-20 years of 34 progesterone children with 37 normal and 12 toxaemic controls. More progesterone children continued schooling after 16 years compared with controls; a higher proportion left school with 'O' level and 'A' level passes, the average number of passes per child was greater at both levels and more obtained a university place. The best academic results were in those whose mothers had received over 5 grams of prenatal progesterone, and for whom administration commenced before the sixteenth week and treatment lasted longer than eight weeks.
