“…19 Moreover, psychological and socioeconomic factors like depression, lower household economic status, and acute family financial distress were predictors for incident chronic migraines or chronic daily headaches. 20 In present analysis, middle and low-income adolescents have a significantly higher number of headaches, while the area of residence, living with both or single parents household, and the acceptance by schoolmates were not significantly different between those suffering from headaches and those without. The socio-economic factors are therefore, likely stress factors for adolescents.…”

INTRODUCTIONApproximately one-fifth of the world's populations are adolescents (10-19 years) with more than 80% living in developing countries. Adolescents represent 22% of the Egyptian population.1 Adolescence period is a critical stage of life marked by physical, psychological and social changes. It is a transitional foundational period of development that is liable to change from a neurobiological, behavioral, and psychosocial perspective.2 Headache refers to a pain in the area of the head as an outcome of an interaction of biological, psychological or social factors. It is one of the most mentioned health complaints in adolescents. Globally, around 60% of children and adolescents are liable to headache and may have attacks of variable frequency. Pre-pubescent boys are more frequently affected than pre-pubescent girls, however, after the onset of puberty, headaches occur more frequently in girls. 4 A systematic review of population-based studies on headaches and migraines in children and adolescents estimated that the prevalence of headaches and migraines ranges between 58.4% and 7.7%; adolescent females ABSTRACT Background: Recurrent headaches might be an indication of an underlying disease. It could interfere with the quality of life, school attendance and performance, and daily activities. This study aims to identify factors associated to headaches among male and female adolescents. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a sample of 548 adolescents of a data set of 863 adolescent students aged 12 to 18 years assessed through a self-administered health questionnaire. The primary survey design was a multistage stratified random sample from preparatory and secondary schools in Cairo and rural areas in Qaliubia governorate, Egypt. No distinction was made between primary and secondary headache. Around 65% of the primary data base was randomly selected by SPSS. Taking gender into consideration, adolescents suffering from at least one headache a week (342) were compared with those who had no complaints of a headache (206). Results: Headaches were reported among 62.4% of the adolescents studied with a significantly higher number of female than male students reporting headaches; 69.9% versus 55.8%. Adolescent males and females with headaches have significantly more weekly symptoms of any disease than those without (18.7% versus 6.8%). They also suffer significantly more abdominal pain, sleep disturbance, feelings of nervousness or dizziness. Significantly more adolescent females (29.1%) suffer from chronic headaches (4-7 times/week) than their male counterparts (8%). Conclusions: Adolescents who play sports have significantly fewer headaches. The most relevant factors associated with headaches with binary regression were dizziness (OR=2), abdominal pain (OR=1.34), sleep disturbance (OR=1.25), and feeling nervous (OR=1.24).

Chronic migraine (CM) is a disabling neurological condition affecting 0.5-2 % of the population. In the current third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, medication overuse is no longer an exclusion criterion and CM is diagnosed in patients suffering from at least 15 headache days per month of which at least eight are related to migraine. CM is difficult to treat, and preventive treatment options are limited. We provide a pathogenetic model for CM, integrating the latest findings from neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies. On behalf of the Belgian Headache Society, we present a management algorithm for CM based on the international literature and adapted to the Belgian situation. Pharmacological treatment options are discussed, and recent data on transcranial and invasive neuromodulation studies in CM are reviewed. An integrated multimodal treatment programme may be beneficial to refractory patients, but at present, this approach is only supported by a limited number of observational studies and quite variable between centres

“…Of note, BMI was calculated using self-reported, not measured height and weight. The relative risk of CDH was not significantly increased in those with BMI≥95th% (RR 1.58;95 % CI: 0.89–2.80) compared with those with BMI <95th% [37]. …”

“…In this general population study, the risk of developing CM was addressed without evaluating EM as the focus of the study was to evaluate the incidence of CDH based on obesity status. The risk of incident CM was nearly 2.5 fold greater in those with obesity (RR 2.43; 95 % CI: 1.23–4.80, P =0.011) (Table 1) compared with nonobese students; and remained significant after adjustments (HR 2.41;95 % CI: 1.13–5.14, P =0.023) [37]. …”

Childhood obesity and headache are both significant health concerns that often have a marked impact both personally and socially, that if not addressed can carry over into adulthood. For many individuals, these effects may be magnified when obesity and headache are seen in conjunction. It is this overlap between obesity and headache in children, as well as similarities in the known mechanism of action for feeding and headache, which led to a suspected association between the two. Unfortunately, although recent studies have supported this association, only a limited number have been conducted to directly address this. Furthermore, despite rising rates of childhood obesity and headache, the associated medical comorbidities, and the significant financial cost for these conditions, there is a relative void in studies investigating treatment options that address both underlying conditions of obesity and headache in children.
