“…Besides, migraine prevalence rates tend to be similar between boys and girls before 10 years of age, while prevalence increases in females as they approach adolescence [68]. Migraine can cause significant disability in children and adolescents, such as absence from school [69], impaired school performance [4], emotional and psychopathological disorders [5,70], therefore these data are extremely important and they should be updated constantly. The prevalence of TTH was 17%.…”

“…In the global burden of disease (GBD) of 2016, migraine was ranked first among the most disabling diseases in the 15–49 age range [ 3 ]. In children and adolescents, headaches cause a substantial impact on quality of life [ 4 ]: limiting social activities, physical activity and school absenteeism, weaker learning outcomes, a higher risk of dropping out of school, and a negative effect on parent's careers [ 4 , 5 ]. Migraine is also associated with comorbidities such as allergies, sleep disorders, emotional and behavioral problems, depression and anxiety, and academic performances [ 4 , 6 ].…”

Introduction Headache is the most prevalent neurological manifestation in adults and one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. In children and adolescents, headaches are arguably responsible for a remarkable impact on physical and psychological issues, yet high-quality evidence is scarce. Material and methods We searched cross-sectional and cohort studies in Embase, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases from January 1988 to June 2022 to identify the prevalence of headaches in 8–18 years old individuals. The risk of bias was examined with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scale. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of pediatric headache. Subgroup analyses based on headache subtypes were also conducted. Results Out of 5,486 papers retrieved electronically, we identified 48 studies that fulfilled our inclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence of primary headaches was 11% for migraine overall [95%CI: 9–14%], 8% for migraine without aura (MwoA) [95%CI: 5–12%], 3% for migraine with aura (MwA) [95%CI:2–4%] and 17% for tension-type headache (TTH) [95% CI: 12–23%]. The pooled prevalence of overall primary headache in children and adolescents was 62% [95% CI: 53–70%], with prevalence in females and males of 38% [95% CI: 16–66%] and 27% [95% CI: 11–53%] respectively. After the removal of studies ranked as low-quality according to the JBI scale, prevalence rates were not substantially different. Epidemiological data on less common primary headaches, such as trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias, were lacking. Conclusion We found an overall remarkably high prevalence of primary headaches in children and adolescents, even if flawed by a high degree of heterogeneity. Further up-to-date studies are warranted to complete the picture of pediatric headache-related burden to enhance specific public interventions.

“…[1][2][3] Migraine can negatively impact the quality of life in children and adolescents, affecting their school and daily activities and potentially reducing their learning abilities. 4, 5 Esposito's study reported a high prevalence of harm avoidance and persistence of temperamental domains in pediatric patients with migraine, suggesting a correlation between temperamental domains and migraine. 6 Several studies have indicated a higher prevalence of sleep-related problems, depressive mood, anxiety disorders, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in pediatric patients with migraine.…”

Purpose Migraine is a neurological disorder affecting pediatric patients of all age groups, with a prevalence ranging from approximately 5% to 15%. It significantly impacts the quality of life in children and adolescents, potentially hampering their learning abilities, school performance, and daily activities. This study investigated the association between migraine and several prevalent gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in pediatric patients. Patients and Methods We analyzed the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service Pediatric Patient Sample (HIRA-PPS) dataset from South Korea. Propensity scores based on patient characteristics (age, sex, and insurance type) were employed through the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) in binary logistic regression. We included gastroesophageal disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastritis, dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as GI diseases. Results A total of 683,347 patients from the HIRA dataset were included in the study. After IPTW adjustment, the prevalence of GI diseases among pediatric patients with migraine remained significantly increased (OR 4.15; 95% CI 4.12–4.18). Migraine patients showed higher prevalence rates for all six individual GI diseases, with GERD (OR 4.11; 95% CI 4.05–4.16) and IBS (OR 3.79; 95% CI 3.74–3.84) showing the highest associations. We also confirmed a progressively increasing association between the presence of diagnosed migraine and GI diseases. Conclusion This study highlights a strong association between pediatric migraine and GI diseases, even after adjusting for patient characteristics. The elevated prevalence of various GI diseases in migraine patients suggests the need for comprehensive approaches to their prevention and treatment.

“…So, compared to primary headaches in adults, Due to all of these restrictions, a limited number of epidemiological studies are available in children and adolescents, in comparison with their adult counterparts• based on bibliographic data, the estimated prevalence of headache and migraine is up to 58% and 7.7% [4] respectively. In children and adolescents, their quality of life is substantially impaired by headaches, causing negative feedback on their daily living [5]: elimination of their social activities, physical activity and school absenteeism, weaker learning outcomes, a higher risk of dropping out of school, and a negative effect on parent's careers [5,6].…”

Chronic Pediatric Headache as a Manifestation of Shunt Over-Drainage and Slit Ventricle Syndrome in patients harboring a Cerebrospinal Fluid Diversion System: A Systematic Literature Review

The ultimate goal of our review is to draw clinician’s attention, especially of those who are managing pediatric patients with permanent, long-standing, ventriculoperitoneal or, less commonly, ventriculo-atrial shunts. This specific subgroup of patients may eventually suffer from severe, intractable headaches which may negatively impair their quality of daily living. In the absence of any other clinical condition that could be attributed as the cause of the headache, shunt overdrainage should not be overlooked but, on the contrary, should be seriously taken into consideration in the therapeutic armamentarium of such cases, that are difficult to be handled.
