Headaches are are a common and potentially disabling problem for children and teens. Our specialists in the Headache Program at Children’s Hospital Boston have great expertise in diagnosing the various types of pediatric headaches and their causes.

Our team helps our young patients to manage their headache pain, and continue or return to their regular activities. Together with our patients and their families, we take a collaborative approach at ensuring that each child we treat is able to meet his or her optimal ability to live life uninterrupted by pain.

In order to find the most effective strategies and methods to help your children, our headache experts in the Department of Neurology collaborate with specialists from the Departments of Anesthesia and Psychiatry, as well as various forms of complementary medicine.
