The efficacy of several antiepileptics in the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults has been systematically reviewed.

Review Meta Analysis

If infant colic is a migrainous disorder, this would have important implications for treatment. The main limitation of this meta-analysis was the relatively small number of studies included.
