Adolescent Migraines: Exploring Digital Media's Impact

Research Summary

A recent review published in Current Pain and Headache Reports explores the complex relationship between digital media use and migraine in adolescents. The study highlights the shift from focusing solely on screen time to considering broader ecological approaches that examine digital media use through a developmental systems lens. Adolescents with migraines are heavy users of digital media, yet their specific usage context and motivations remain unclear. The authors propose a new framework considering individual, family, and structural factors affecting migraine symptoms and disability. They call for further research to tailor clinical recommendations for digital media use that address the unique needs of adolescents with migraines.
