Use of nutritional supplements based on melatonin, tryptophan and vitamin B6 (Melamil Tripto®) in children with primary chronic headache, with or without sleep disorders: a pilot study.

TL;DR: Using either nutritional supplement for two months can help in decreasing the monthly number of headache episodes and night awakenings, and the addition of tryptophan appears to have stronger influence on night awakening reduction than melatonin only.

Practice parameter: Evaluation of children and adolescents with recurrent headaches Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the Practice Committee of the Child Neurology Society

TL;DR: Recurrent headaches occur commonly in children and are diagnosed on a clinical basis rather than by any testing, so the routine use of any diagnostic studies is not indicated when the clinical history has no associated risk factors and the child’s examination is normal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurobiology of migraine.

TL;DR: Brain imaging studies in migraine point to the importance of sub-cortical structures in the underlying pathophysiology of the disorder, and migraine may be considered an inherited dysfunction of sensory modulatory networks with the dominant disturbance affecting abnormal processing of essentially normal neural traffic.
