Migraine is a disease that has accompanied man throughout the life. With the objective of substantiating through the collection of results from clinical studies of evidence the relationship between the medical ethics and the clinical method in the treatment of migraine in pediatric patients, a literature review on migraine and on some aspects of the compliance with the medical ethics and the clinical method was made. These aspects had been considered in the medical consultation and interconsultation service of neurology in “William Soler” university pediatric hospital including the consultation service of the Community Project in Boyeros municipality in Havana in the last ten years. PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo and Goggle databases were accessed; search by topic and restricted to the last ten years was made as well as evidence-based studies whose databases were created from consultations, and the results were published in journals. Evidence papers related to the treatment of migraine were presented, in which the communion between ethics and the clinical method was reflected. The evidence shown in the publications of the main author of this study on the treatment of migraine in pediatrics prove that the medical ethics and the clinical method should be complied with, as Hippocrates said before the CE.
