Zusammenfassung

Gegenstand und Ziel: Komplementäre und alternative Behandlungsverfahren (CAM) werden bei primären Kopfschmerzen vielfach angewendet. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Evidenzlage dieser Methoden bei kindlichen Kopfschmerzen darzustellen. Methoden: Es wurden medizinische Datenbanken (Medline, Cochrane Bibliothek) nach Studien über CAM bei Kindern mit Kopfschmerzen durchforstet. Dabei wurden Artikel der letzten 20 Jahre berücksichtigt. Ergebnisse: Obwohl komplementäre und alternative Therapien eine wachsende Rolle in der multidisziplinären Behandlung von Kopfschmerzen im Kindesund Jugendalter spielen, sind bislang kaum hochwertige klinische Studien zu verzeichnen. Lediglich für die Akupunktur als Methode gibt es einen gewissen Grad an Evidenz hinsichtlich ihrer Wirksamkeit für eine mögliche Kopfschmerzprophylaxe bei Kindern. Schlussfolgerung: Es gibt immer noch wenig Evidenz bezüglich der Wirksamkeit unterschiedlicher komplementärer Behandlungsmethoden bei kindlichen Kopfschmerzen. Randomisierte klinische Studien mit hinreichenden Fallzahlen wären hier dringend wünschenswert.

Summary:

Objective: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widely used in patients with primary headache syndromes. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the current evidence concerning CAM use in children with headache. Methods: Medline and Cochrane library were systematically searched for articles dealing with CAM in children with headache taking into account articles published within the past 20 years. Results: Despite increasing CAM use in the multidisciplinary treatment of headache in children and adolescents, only very few clinical trials of higher quality exist. Only in acupuncture a certain level of evidence concerning efficacy for headache prophylaxis in children exists. Conclusion: There is still limited evidence concerning efficacy of CAM methods in children with headache. Randomised controlled trials with adequate numbers of cases are highly warranted.
