Summary

This study looked at children and teens aged 10-18 who have a constant headache every day (called New Daily Persistent Headache). Researchers gave them a monthly injection of a medicine that blocks a protein linked to headaches (CGRP) and checked if their headaches got better. They also measured certain substances in the blood before and after treatment to see if they could predict who would respond best.
