Childhood Migraine and Motion Sickness

Gabor Barabas MD1, Wendy Schempp Matthews PhD1, and Michael Ferrari PhD1

1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Rutgers Medical School, Piscataway

The incidence of motion sickness among 222 children in four diagnostic categories—migraine, nonmigraine headaches, seizure disorders, and learning disabilities—was compared. Motion sickness was found to be an associated feature in 45% of the cases of childhood migraine, in contrast to a 5% to 7% incidence in the other groups. Therefore, it is suggested that motion sickness be regarded as an additional reliable minor criterion in the diagnosis of childhood migraine. Hypotheses of common central and peripheral mechanisms underlying both conditions are offered.
