“…Emotional stress, anxiety and depression were shown to have an association with both headache and GI problems (29,30). Therefore, these factors can play a common etiological role between headache and constipation.…”

Background/Aims: Constipation and headache are prevalent conditions among children worldwide. Previous studies have shown the relationship between upper gastrointestinal complaints and headache in children. However, the association with lower gastrointestinal complaints such as constipation has not been investigated until present. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between headache and chronic functional constipation in children aged 4-12 years old. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study has evaluated the prevalence of headache in 326 children in Shiraz, Iran 2012. All the subjects and their parents were interviewed based on a structured questionnaire for the diagnosis of constipation and headache. Children with constipation were selected from the Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic Affiliated to the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The control group was selected from healthy children attending Shiraz schools. Diagnosis of headache and constipation were made based on the second Edition of The International Headache Classification (ICHD-2) and ROME III criteria, respectively. Results: Headache prevalence among children with constipation was significantly higher (19.8%) than that of the control group (5.6%) [Odds ratio (OR) 4.192, p<0.001], which was significant only in the non-migraine headache subtypes (15.1% vs 2.8%, OR 25, p<0.002). Among the headache subtypes of different severity (mild, moderate, severe), only mild headache was significantly more prevalent in constipated children (14.9% vs. 1.4%, in the control group, respectively, p<0.001). Conclusion: This study revealed a strong correlation between headache and chronic functional constipation, which can result from the effect of these comorbid conditions with emotional stress, depression, and anxiety.

“…Nash and colleagues (32,33) postulated multiple connections on how stress and headache can be inter-related: stress can contribute to the onset or expression of headache in vulnerable persons (22,34), can trigger individual headache episodes (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42), can exacerbate the progression of a headache disorder from an episodic to a chronic condition (43)(44)(45) and can independently worsen headache-related disability and quality of life in headache sufferers (31,46). Furthermore, headache episodes themselves can serve as stressors (17,47), that impact an individual's health and well-being. Since our data are cross-sectional, we are only reporting associations and do not claim causal relations.…”

Introduction: Stress is considered the major contributor to migraine and tension-type headache in adolescents. Previous studies have focused on general stressors, whereas the aim of the present study was to investigate associations between individuals' stressful experiences and different types of headache. Methods: Adolescents from 10th and 11th grades of grammar schools filled in questionnaires. Stressful experiences were measured with the Trier Inventory of Chronic Stress. Type of headache was classified according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders. Linear regressions, adjusted for sex and grade, were calculated to estimate differences in stress scores that can be attributed to migraine, tension-type headache or miscellaneous headache. Results: A total of 1260 questionnaires were analysed. Tension-type headache, migraine and co-existing migraine plus tension-type headache were found in 48.7%, 10.2% and 19.8% of the participants. In subjects with migraine or co-existing migraine plus tension-type headache, high increases in stress scores were found in all investigated dimensions, whereas much weaker and inconsistent associations were found in subjects with tension-type headache only. Conclusions: The characteristic of migraine is more associated with stressful experiences than this is the case for tensiontype headache. This suggests that adolescent migraine patients might especially benefit from behavioural interventions regarding stress.

“…As previously documented, 22,23 at the age 26 assessment, a registered nurse or medical practitioner asked 979 study members a series of questions concerning headache pain characteristics and symptoms in the last year (abstracted from the IHS classification). Almost 12% fulfilled IHS criteria for migraine (n ϭ 114), and 11.1% were diagnosed with TTH (n ϭ 109).…”

Abstract-Objective:To investigate the association between migraine and cognitive ability among members of a longitudinal birth cohort study. Methods: Headache status was determined at age 26 (migraine, tension-type headache [TTH], headache-free control subjects) according to International Headache Society criteria, and data relating to cognitive and academic performance from ages 3 to 26 years were analyzed. Results: Study members diagnosed with migraine were subtly but significantly impaired, compared with those with TTH and headache-free control subjects, on tests of verbal ability (especially language reception) from ages 3 to 13, independent of headache history. Performance on other tasks, including reading, arithmetic, motor, and spatial ability, was normal. The association between migraine and verbal functioning also appeared to impact on later academic success. Conclusion: Findings suggest that the poorer verbal performance was unlikely to have resulted from cumulative attacks and may be due to developmental factors beginning in utero.
