This study included children aged 11–14, attending primary school in the town of Monreale, Italy, and diagnosed with migraine.[Monastero et al., 2006] In total, from an eligible population of 1,686 children, 80 were included.[Monastero et al., 2006] After drop-outs at 5- and 10-year follow ups, the study included a total of 55 participants at baseline.[Monastero et al., 2006] As shown on the slide, the prognosis of migraine in this study was favourable, with a remission rate of 38%.[Monastero et al., 2006] People who did not remit were likely to have a family history of migraine, although the study did not identify any other significant predictors of migraine persistence – leading the authors to conclude that larger-scale studies are required.[Monastero et al., 2006]
