What Causes Pinching Sensation Followed By Burning Sensation On Top Of Head?

My daughter (9) has over the past 5 days complained 3 times of a pinching sensation followed by a burning sensation at the top of her head. She then has a mild headache. All of which comes and goes in a matter of 3-5 mins. Everything else is fine and normal. About a month ago, she had a knock to the top of her head...not sure if this is related as it was so long ago. Any advice gratefully recieved.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...by what you say I feel that this is a migraine without aura. If there's a family history of migraine, the diagnosis becomes all the more prudent. I don't think the trivial injury 1 month back is related to this.
