JUVENILE MIGRAINE IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS OF UZBEKISTAN: PREVALENCE, CLINICAL FEATURES AND NEUROLOGICAL STATUS

Abstract

This article presents the results of a study of juvenile migraine in children and adolescents aged 6–17 years in Uzbekistan, taking into account age and gender. A total of 285 participants were included in the study, divided into age groups: 6–10, 11–14, and 15–17 years. An analysis of the prevalence and frequency of migraine attacks, as well as neurological status, including impaired coordination, autonomic dysfunction, and cognitive-emotional impairment, was conducted. The results showed that migraine is more common in girls, especially during adolescence, with an increase in attack frequency and the severity of neurological
impairment with increasing age. Girls demonstrate more pronounced autonomic and cognitive impairment compared to boys, which requires careful monitoring and early prevention. The data obtained highlight the need for personalized approaches to the
diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of juvenile migraine, as well as the development of regional guidelines for Uzbekistan.
