ObjectiveIn paediatric migraine, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and triptans are safe, effective therapies but there is scant paediatric data informing second-line emergency treatment.MethodsRetrospective cohort study of children diagnosed with migraine at a tertiary children's hospital ED.ResultsThere were 207 children with migraine over a 1 year period. 46% received simple oral analgesia. 25% intravenous chlorpromazine, of whom 45% received further analgesia.ConclusionsWhile intravenous chlorpromazine as second-line agent was mostly safe, it had unclear efficacy given the requirement for further treatment and hospital admissions.© 2022 Australasian College for Emergency Medicine.
