Abstract

OBJECTIVES: In this study, the EEG findings in children with migraine headache were assessed in Bahrami Hospital, Tehran, Iran from 2014 to 2016. MATERIALS & METHODS: In this observational cross-sectional study, 71 consecutive children with migraine headache were enrolled. The EEG findings were determined and compared with other variables. RESULTS: There were 25 cases (35.2%) with abnormal EEG and the type of EEG abnormality comprised slow waves and sharp waves in 19(68%) and 8(32%) patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: Nearly one-third of children with migraine might have abnormal EEG.
