“…7 A recent study also confirmed a predictive effect of high depression scores on the persistence and worsening of headache at follow-up. 8 To date, it is not well-understood whether different types of headache are related to specific psychiatric disturbances, and current findings suggest that frequency and severity, rather than type, of headache increase the risk of psychiatric comorbidity. 9 Though data are limited, certain physical symptoms appear to be frequent in children with recurrent headache.…”

“…2 Both clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated that recurrent headache is related to a variety of psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Chronic headache may also have a serious effect on the quality of life (QoL) of the affected individuals. However, it is still unclear whether it is TTH or migraine that has a closer relationship with psychiatric problems and poor QoL in childhood and adolescence.…”

“…Various studies have reported that depression and anxiety are linked to migraine and TTH in children. [3][4][5][6][7][8] A clinical study showed that approximately half of the school-age children with chronic headaches had psychiatric disorders, primarily depression or anxiety disorders. 3 Pavone et al enrolled 280 children aged 4 to 14 years with primary headaches and detected a positive association between primary headaches and depression and anxiety.…”

This study compared the severity of depression, anxiety, somatization, anxiety sensitivity, sleep disturbances, and quality of life (QoL) among children with migraine, children with tension-type headache (TTH), and healthy children. A total of 37 children with migraine, 22 with TTH, and a healthy control group (n = 35) participated in this study. Children with migraine exhibited higher depression and somatization and lower QoL scores than those in the control group. General sleep disturbances, bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night wakings, sleep-disordered breathing, and daytime sleepiness scores were also higher in those in the migraine group than in the control group. Regression models indicated that the severity of headache and depression scores significantly affected the QoLs of children with headache disorder as a whole. Migraine is associated with depression, somatization, sleep disturbances, and poor QoL, whereas TTH is associated with only sleep disturbances in childhood. The impact of headache on the QoL occurs mainly through the headache-specific and psychiatric factors.

Objective To provide updated evidence‐based recommendations for migraine prevention using pharmacologic treatment with or without cognitive behavioral therapy in the pediatric population. Methods The authors systematically reviewed literature from January 2003 to August 2017 and developed practice recommendations using the American Academy of Neurology 2011 process, as amended. Results Fifteen class I‐III studies on migraine prevention in children in adolescents met inclusion criteria. There is insufficient evidence to determine if children and adolescents receiving divalproex, onabotulinumtoxinA, amitriptyline, nimodipine and flunarizine are more or less likely than those receiving placebo to have a reduction in headache frequency. Children with migraine receiving propranolol are possibly more likely than those receiving placebo to have an at least 50% reduction in headache frequency. Children and adolescents receiving topiramate and cinnarizine are probably more likely than those receiving placebo to have a decrease in headache frequency. Children with migraine receiving amitriptyline plus cognitive behavioral therapy are more likely than those receiving amitriptyline plus headache education to have a reduction in headache frequency. Recommendations The majority of randomized controlled trials studying the efficacy of preventive medications for pediatric migraine fail to demonstrate superiority to placebo. Recommendations for the prevention of migraine in children include counseling on lifestyle and behavioral factors that influence headache frequency, and assessment and management of comorbid disorders associated with headache persistence. Clinicians should engage in shared decision making with patients and caregivers regarding the use of preventive treatments for migraine, including discussion of the limitations in the evidence to support pharmacologic treatments.

“…Furthermore, clinicians should educate patients and families to identify and address comorbidities and lifestyle factors which have been associated with chronification of migraine. These include being overweight, caffeine and alcohol use, lack of physical activity, tobacco exposure, and mood disorders such as depression …”

Longitudinal study shows that depression in childhood is associated with a worse evolution of headaches in adolescence

Abstract: High depression scores in childhood were a risk factor that was associated with persistence and worsening of headaches in adolescence. This suggests that mental health assessments should be carried out in paediatric headache pain clinics.
