FAQs

Is screen time a contributing factor?

We will establish a structured wind-down plan to minimize screen exposure before bedtime, as excessive screen use can significantly impact sleep quality - especially for extended periods, in close proximity, or near bedtime.

Do specific foods trigger headaches?

Dietary triggers vary by individual. We systematically identify patterns through careful tracking and trial elimination when appropriate.

Will my child need daily preventative medication?

Daily preventive medication is prescribed only when headache frequency or severity warrants long-term management.
