Abstract
Background: In this study the EEG findings in children with migraine headache were assessed in Bahrami Hospital since 2014 to 2016.
Methods and materials: In this observational cross-sectional study, 71 consecutive children with migraine headache were assessed in Bahrami Hospital since 2014 to 2016. The EEG findings in them were determined and compared according to other variables.
Results: There were 25 cases (35.2 percent) with abnormal EEG which the type of EEG abnormality comprised slow waves and sharp waves in 19(68%) and 8(32%) patients respectively
Conclusion: Totally, according to the obtained results, it may be concluded that nearly one-third of children with migraine may have abnormal EEG.
