Childhood migraine and somnambulism

Gabor Barabas, MD, Michael Ferrari, PhD and Wendy Schempp Matthews, PhD

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Neurology, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Rutgers Medical School, Piscataway, NJ.

Based on a sample of 222 children from four diagnostic groups, a high frequency of somnambulism in children suffering from migraine headache is reported. The strength of the association between somnambulism and childhood migraine raises the possibility that somnambulism might be considered as a minor diagnostic criterion in the clinical diagnosis of childhood migraine. This association may further clarify the nature of the serotonin abnormality underlying migraine.
