To the best our knowledge no studies about the temperamental and the characterial dimension aspects in childhood migraine was conducted. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to describe the temperamental and character aspects in a sample of children affected by migraine without aura (MoA) and their relationship with clinical aspects of MoA such as frequency, duration, and severity of attacks.Materials and methods: In our study, 486 children affected by MoA (239 male, 247 female) aged 7&ndash;12 years, (mean 10.04 &plusmn; 2.53 years) and 518 typical developing children comparable for age (P = 0.227) and sex (P = 0.892) were enrolled to assess their temperamental characteristics. The mothers of all subjects filled out the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory: Parent Version.Results: Children affected by migraine show a higher prevalence of harm avoidance and persistence temperamental domains (P < 0.001) and significantly lower prevalence of the self-directedness character trait (P = 0.023) with respect to the comparisons, according to Cloninger&#39;s model. The Spearman rank correlation analysis shows a significant relationship between migraine characteristics and temperamental domains.Conclusion: The present study first identified differences in temperamental characteristics in children affected by MoA with respect to the comparisons, suggesting the need for this evaluation in order for better psychological pediatric management of children with migraine, with possible consequences and impact on the future outcomes of these subjects.Keywords: migraine without aura, children, temperament, JTCIEsposito MMarotta RGallai BParisi LPatriciello GLavano SMMazzotta GRoccella MCarotenuto MDove Medical PressarticleNeurosciences.
