It significantly impacts quality of life, with triggers and contributing factors including genetic predispositions, environmental influences, and modifiable lifestyle behaviors. This review examines the role of lifestyle factors in migraine frequency and severity, focusing on hydration, diet, caffeine consumption, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and technology use. Lifestyle interventions, such as maintaining regular sleep schedules, consistent meals, adequate hydration, and physical activity, offer promising non-pharmacological strategies for migraine management. Dietary approaches, including the ketogenic diet and elimination diets, have shown potential, though further research is needed to evaluate their efficacy in pediatric populations. Excessive caffeine intake and screen time, particularly among adolescents, are significant contributors to migraine episodes, underscoring the need for behavioral modifications. Proper sleep hygiene and stress reduction are also key in alleviating migraine burden. Given the limitations of pharmacological treatments in children and adolescents, lifestyle modifications should be prioritized as first-line preventive measures. This review highlights the need for comprehensive educational programs to promote healthier habits, reduce migraine recurrence, and improve long-term outcomes in young individuals. </p> </abstract> <kwd-group> <kwd>Migraine</kwd> <kwd> lifestyle factors</kwd> <kwd> young individuals</kwd> <kwd> adolescents</kwd> </kwd-group> </article-meta> </front> </article>
