“…Upper and lower GI diseases such as acid peptic disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and constipation were previously shown to have a significant correlation with headache in the adult population (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). On the other hand, in the pediatric population, only upper GI problems, such as acid peptic disease and abdominal pain, were shown to be related to headache (18)(19)(20). Abdominal migraine is a typical clinical feature of this association (21).…”

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.

“…This correlation has not been previously described in the pediatric population. However, the relationship between headache and upper GI problems, such as acid peptic disease and abdominal pain in the pediatric group, was previously described by multiple studies (18)(19)(20). Also, upper and lower GI conditions, such as acid peptic disease, gastro esophageal reflux disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and constipation have been shown to have a significant association with headache in the adult group (12).…”

We are sorry that the publication of this issue is delayed because of very poor quality of English of accepted articles assigned. The preparation for the August issue is in progress that it will be published until the end of this month. Afterwards, all issues will be online in the relevant month and subscribers will receive the print copy in the the same month. We have just started ScholarOne system that we will speed up the review process significantly. We expect that we are going to make the final decision for a submitted article in eight weeks at the latest and publish the accepted studies in the next sixteen weeks. Hence, the whole process from submission to the publication will not be more than 6 months and it would be as short as 4 months. Additionally, all the accepted studies without iThenticate or any other problem resulting with suspended publication (mostly for articles accepted before 2014) will appear in the "Articles in Press" section.

“…Other researchers have found a correlation between migraine and digestive disorders in adults. They found that approximately 75.7% of patients who had migraine also suffered from digestive disorders [reflux (47.1%), gastric ulcers (17.1%), and gastritis (4.3%)], and the prevalence of HP infection was 38.6% among them (26). The explanation of this phenomenon is that gastrointestinal neuroendocrine cells can synthesize and secrete 5-hydroxytryptamine, substance P, and vasoactive intestinal polypeptides.…”

Background: Association between Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and migraine and the effect of HP eradication on relief of migraine headache have been studied but the results are controversial. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of HP eradication in treatment of patients affected by migraine. Materials and Methods: Eighty consecutive HP infected patients affected by migraine without aura were enrolled in this clinical trial. They have referred to an endoscopy clinic for work-up of HP infection from October 2013 to November 2014. Patients were randomly assigned in 2 groups using 2 different regimens; Group A: migraine treatment and a 14-day triple therapy for HP infection and Group B: migraine treatment without HP eradication. The mean duration (hour), headache severity (MIDAS) and the frequency (per month) of clinical headache attacks were calculated upon enrollment in the study and at 6 months and 12 months after treatment. All data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Comparison of categorical variables across the groups was performed using Chi-square test. Results: In group A, HP infection was eradicated in 34 of 40 patients (85%). After treatment in eradicated patients compared with the control group there was significant decrease in severity and frequency (but not in duration) of the migraine attacks at 6 months (p<0.001) and significant decrease in intensity, frequency and duration of the migraine attacks at 12 months (p<0.001). Conclusion: HP should be considered and examined in migranous patients and eradication treatment can be beneficial for relief of clinical attacks.
