Abstract

Investigators from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, and other centers in the US and London, UK, studied risk factors for headache and migraine in 872 children, age 5 to 15 years (mean age, 9.1 years), with sickle cell disease (hemoglobinSS or hemoglobinSb-thalassemia) and no history of overt stroke or seizures.
