Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of occipital nerve block (ONB) in pediatric patients with headache in the occipital region.Methods: Among 302 patients who visited our headache clinic during a 2-year period, we retrospectively reviewed the charts of 26 patients who complained of primary headache in the occipital region, and divided them into two groups according to the main treatment: ONB or oral drug treatment (ODT).Results: The mean age of the 26 patients was 11.7±3.2 years. No statistically significant differences were found between the ONB and ODT groups in age, sex, sites of pain, duration of having experienced symptoms, and the duration, frequency, and severity of episodes (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in remission between the ONB and ODT groups. However, in the ONB group, the time taken to achieve remission was significantly shorter than in the ODT group (P<0.05). Additionally, in the ONB group, the duration of medication and the period of outpatient treatment were significantly shorter than in the ODT group (P<0.05).Conclusion: In this study, ONB reduced the time taken to achieve remission and shortened the period of treatment. Thus, ONB should be considered in pediatric patients with headache in the occipital region.

“…The most common primary headaches are tension-type headaches and migraines, and studies have shown that tension-type headaches have a higher prevalence, although migraines are more painful and result in more frequent hospital visits [ 11 ]. Repetitive headaches impede academic achievement and/or daily life due to decreased concentration, tardiness, and absence from class [ 9 ].…”

Headache is one of the most common neurological disorders in children and adults and can cause significant distress and disability in children and their families. The spectrum of pediatric headaches is broad, and the underlying etiology is variable. The symptoms and phenotypes of headaches in children may differ slightly from those in adults. It is important to have a good understanding of headaches in children and to distinguish between primary and secondary headaches through appropriate history assessment and neurological examination. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate drug selection are helpful for effective treatment. This article reviews headaches in children and adolescents, focusing on approaches for diagnosis and management.

Headache is considered one of the most common complaints affecting all ages: children, adolescents, and adults. A school-based, cross-sectional study was conducted to assess primary headache among high school students aged 16-18 in Grades 11-12, over a period of 3 weeks (May 2017). A questionnaire was designed, in accordance with the International Headache Society's criteria. The Pearson's χ test was computed to show the differences between the variables. Nearly two thirds of the students reported having headache (19.0% tension-type headache, 8.8% migraine, and 39.0% unknown type). Nearly a quarter sought help for headache, and the most frequently used analgesic was acetaminophen (82.2%) followed by aspirin (5.1%). The current study revealed that the prevalence of headache and migraine was initially high and increased with age. Moreover, headache is one of the major public health problems among high school students. An education program conducted by school nurses and other health-care providers regarding headache and migraine is needed.
