“…Egermarck-Ericksson 20 reported that headache was more common in older (11 and 15 years of age) than in younger children, and more common in girls with 15 years of age than in boys of the same age. Similar results were reported by Bille 16 in children of 10 to 15 years-old, as well as by Öster 21 . On the other hand, Bille 16 did not observe significant differences in prevalence of headache considering sex in children of 7 years of age.…”

“…These results are comparable to those reported in Barea et al study 12 , which found a lifetime prevalence of 93,2% in Brazilian schoolchildren, and to those reported by Rasmussen et al 2 , who stated that only 4% of the total population have never had a headache episode. Other studies also found a high prevalence of headache among students: 69% by age 14 13,14 ; 93% of the girls of 10 to 16 years-old 15 ; two thirds of children of 13 years of age 16 ; 99.7% 5 ; 56% of the boys and 55% of the girls 17 (Table 6). The last year prevalence was about 90%, as elevated as that found by Barea et al 12 , which was 82,9%.…”

-This study analyzed prevalence, frequency and cause of headache among 460 children ranging from 10 to 14 years-old from a Brazilian school. A questionnaire was handed both to children and parents to know if there would be differences among children and parental reports. The lifetime prevalence of headache was 93.5% (children reports) and 93.3% (parental reports). The last year prevalence was 90% (children) and 89.8% (parents). Headache episodes were frequent in 17.6% (children) and 18.5% (parents). The most often reported cause was "flu" (39.1% by children, and 46.7% by parents). This study demonstrated that the prevalence of headache in children is high; moreover, there were noted few differences between data obtained from children and parents. So, we could say that when the objective of a epidemiologic study is to determine the prevalence of headache in children, both children and parental reports may be used.KEY WORDS: headache, schoolchildren, epidemiology. Prevalência de cefaléia em crianças de uma escola de Curitiba, Brasil, comparando dados obtidos de crianças e paisRESUMO -Este estudo analisou prevalência, frequência e motivo da cefaléia entre 460 crianças de 10 a 14 anos de uma escola brasileira. Com a finalidade de saber se haveria diferenças obtendo informações das crianças ou dos pais, um questionário foi entregue a ambos. A prevalência durante a vida foi 93,5% (relatos das crianças) e 93,3% (relatos dos pais). A prevalência nos últimos 12 meses foi 90% (crianças) e 89,8% (pais). As cefaléias foram frequentes em 17,6% (crianças) e 18,5% (pais). O motivo mais citado foi "gripe" (39,1% pelas crianças e 46,7% pelos pais). Esse estudo demonstrou ser alta a prevalência de cefaléia entre crianças; além disso, poucas diferenças entre dados obtidos de crianças e pais foram observadas. Dessa forma, poderíamos dizer que quando o objetivo de um estudo epidemiológico é determinar a prevalência de cefaléia em crianças, tanto os relatos das crianças como os dos pais podem ser utilizados.

“…Already in the past several authors had doubts about this entity: in the epidemiological works conducted by Bille [3], Sillanpaa [4], Raskin [5] and Lanzi [6], there was no difference in the characteristics of headache in subjects who had suffered from head injury and others in whom it had already appeared. Also, in 1975 Haas [7] suggested that the same pathogenic mechanism existed in PTH and migraine in young patients, however, that the trauma was only a triggering momentum.…”

The onset of post-traumatic headache occurs frequently in children, where it is often caused by severe head injuries, therefore, it is part of a post-traumatic syndrome, rather than of an independent headache and in this case no cause is clearly evident. The problem, conversely, arises in post-traumatic headache after a light trauma, since it is difficult to establish the cause-effect link. We have studied PTH incidence for one year in the patients of the emergency ward of the Saint Charles of Nancy Hospital, compared to the activity of 4 Italian headache centres. At the Saint Charles of Nancy Hospital of 98 patients with PTH after a moderate head trauma, 18 had acute and 26 chronic PTH, the majority ceased after six months. In the Italian headache centres 1656 patients were examined, of these 3.2% suffered from PTH: 25 acute, 29 chronic. These data confirm the poor evidence of PTH after a light trauma and lead to doubt of the existence of this nosological entity.

Managing migraine headaches experienced by patients who self–report with menstrually related migraine: a prospective, placebo–controlled study with oral sumatriptan

IntroductionMigraine is equally common in both genders until puberty, when it becomes approximately three times more prevalent in women than in men [1,2]. This greater prevalence in women is due, in part, to the influence of female sexual hormones. More than 50% of women relate a periodicity of their migraine attacks to their menstrual cycles [3,4], although in most cases they also have migraine attacks outside the menstrual period. It has been proposed that menstrual migraine is due to oestrogen withdrawal in the late luteal phase of the normal menstrual cycle acting as a migraine trigger in predisposed individuals [5], but other factors such as prostaglandin release have also been implicated [6]. However, the true prevalence of menstrual migraine attacks (those occurring during the peri-menstrual period) is unclear due to retrospective reports and variable definitions of menstrual migraine [7].Menstrual migraine attacks are treated with standard acute therapies and with specific prophylactic treatments such as oestrogen supplements taken during the peri-menstrual period [6]. It has been widely considered that menstrual migraine attacks are more severe and less responsive to drug treatments and non-pharmacological approaches than non-menstrual attacks [6,8], but the data to support this J Headache Pain (2005) 6:81-87 DOI 10.1007 Managing migraine headaches experienced by patients who self-report with menstrually related migraine: a prospective, placebo-controlled study with oral sumatriptan Abstract The objective was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of oral sumatriptan (100 mg) in patients who self-reported with menstrually related migraine. A prospective, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebocontrolled, two-group crossover study was carried out in 20 UK primary and secondary care surgeries. Of 115 patients with a self-reported history of menstrually related migraine that entered the study, 93 patients completed it. Patients treated all migraine attacks for 2 months with sumatriptan (100 mg) and for 2 months with placebo. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients reporting headache relief at 4 hours for the first treated attack.Only 11% of patients fulfilled the protocol definition of menstrually related migraine. Patients reported a variable pattern of migraine attacks occurring inside and outside the menstrual window. For the first attack, significantly more patients receiving sumatriptan than placebo reported headache relief for attacks occurring inside (67% vs. 33%, p=0.007) and outside (79% vs. 31%, p<0.001) the menstrual period. Sumatriptan was generally well tolerated. Oral sumatriptan (100 mg) is an effective and well tolerated acute treatment for patients who report menstrually related migraine.
