Today, at the @sinneurologia Congress, I presented the case of a 6-year-old girl with autoimmune nodo-paranodopathy, refractory to multiple immunosuppressive treatments, who showed a remarkable clinical improvement following anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy #SIN2026
I am very happy to announce the first Congress of the Child and Adolescent Neurology special interest group of @sinneurologia at @bambinogesu hospital

New in Cephalalgia!
In migraine of children and adolescents, brain networks play different roles by sex: males show altered sensory–affective circuits, females altered cognitive–attentive ones—the instruments and conductors of pain processing.

A new study analyzed treatments for medication-overuse headache. The most effective approaches combined migraine prevention treatments with nerve blocks or anti-CGRP therapies. In contrast, stopping medication wasn’t very effective. doi.org/10.1186/s10194-025-0…
We investigated #MR morphometric similarity in #children and #adolescents with #migraine. Distinct features separating girls and boys may represent a potential structural signature of sex-specific disease mechanisms.

2025 Highlights in headache in children and adolescents
Laura Papetti
• Migraine in young people is no longer seen as just a neurological condition — it’s a developing, biopsychosocial process shaped by brain, behaviour, and environment
• 2025 research highlights how psychological factors, resilience, and early life experiences strongly influence migraine severity and long-term outcomes
• Studies show that anxiety, depression, pain catastrophising, and multisite pain can all affect disability and treatment response
• Education matters: stigma often begins in adolescence, making awareness among parents, teachers, and caregivers a vital part of care
• Early psychological, educational, and biopsychosocial interventions can change the trajectory of migraine across the lifespan
• A key focus for the future: integrated care models and smoother transitions from paediatric to adult services
• Bottom line: supporting a child with migraine today helps shape a healthier adult tomorrow
More Cephalalgia 2025 editorials coming soon — stay tuned.
