Non-pharmacologic and Mindful-Based Approaches for Pediatric Headache Disorders: a Review.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewHeadache disorders in children and adolescents are common. Among the different headache disorders, migraine and tension headache are highly prevalent and often debilitating. Pharmacological treatments for pediatric patients are often not approved or effective. Practice guidelines for prevention of pediatric headache and migraine are now incorporating information and recommendations regarding non-pharmacologic therapeutic options. Understanding the mechanism of action, safety, and efficacy of the non-pharmacologic as well as mindful-based therapeutic alternatives currently available for the management and treatment of headache and migraine may allow additional treatment alternatives for children with these conditions. RECENT
findingsStudies have been published looking at non-pharmacologic treatments, and mindful-based approaches, namely relaxation, mindfulness meditation, yoga, and hypnosis as options for the treatment of headache and migraine, although there are few that examine these in children and adolescents. Several recent studies that have relevance to the care of children with headache and migraine are reviewed. Non-pharmacologic and mindful-based approaches for the prevention and treatment of headache and migraine in children show safety and efficacy data that is promising. Consider incorporating these multi-modal approaches into the therapeutic management strategies for the child or adolescent with headache and migraine. Additional prospective studies and/or randomized-controlled trials are necessary to further assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of these methods.
