Abstract

AIM: Purpose of the study was to recognize specific migraine triggers in adolescents.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Study was conducted on 20,917 adolescents in Serbia.

RESULTS: Lack of sleep, passive tobacco smoking, alcohol intakes, and "not eating in time" are triggers that provoke migraine in adolescents.

CONCLUSION: Avoiding migraine triggers in 68% of adolescents reduced drug therapy for 75%.
