Abstract
Purpose of review: This article reviews recent literature on the association between migraine and trauma, particularly adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). It makes recommendations for research and clinical practice.
Recent findings: ACEs are prevalent and associated with lifetime morbidity and mortality. Observational studies have elucidated the association between migraine and ACEs. Emerging literature highlights a dose-dependent relationship between incident migraine and ACEs. ACEs have been linked with migraine-related outcomes in both children and adolescents as well as adults. However, the mechanisms linking ACEs to migraine remain poorly understood. Principles of, and approaches to, trauma-informed care in other populations can be drawn from, expanded, and extended to the context of migraine. We highlight the need for trauma-informed clinical care. We provide specific suggestions for how clinicians can integrate trauma-informed approaches in their clinical practice to improve patient outcomes. Finally, we make recommendations on how the field can advance research.
