“…The prevalence of headache in the studied population was 87.8%. Prevalence as high as this has been also reported by other authors 17,18 , however it is still possible to find lower figures (35.1%) 19 , and such differences may be explained by different methodological designs and by the ways to evaluate headache, since some studies classify as has having headache people presenting at least one headache episode in the last three months and other studies consider one episode in the last year. Recently, Albers et al 19 have proposed a systematic review on the prevalence of headache among children and adolescents and have concluded that its increase is proportional to age; however this finding is different from our study which has observed higher chance of reporting headache in the age group from 12 to 15 years of age as compared to adolescents from 16 to 19 years of age.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The use of electronic devices as entertainment and recreation means has directly affected adolescents' lives; however their excessive use may bring consequences. This study aimed at observing the prevalence of primary headaches and their possible association with excessive use of computers among adolescents. METHODS: Participated in the study 262 teenagers aged between 14 and 19 years, students of a public school, who have answered a questionnaire to evaluate socio-demographic variables, data on computer use, presence of headache symptoms and level of physical activity. Multiple models of binary and multinomial logistic regression were used to evaluate the association among variables. Significance level was 5%. RESULTS: Prevalence of headache was 87.8%. There has been no significant difference in the prevalence of headache between genders, but among classification types, tension headache was more prevalent among females (35.4%). Females aged between 12 and 15 years and excessive computer use had higher chances of reporting headache. Females have 15.61 times more chance of reporting tension headache. Adolescents reporting excessive computer use had 2.54 times more chance of reporting migraine. CONCLUSION: Results have shown high prevalence of primary headache among adolescents, being migraine the most prevalent type. Abusive computer use were considered risk factors for the development of headache.

“…None of them had any prophylactic medicines. Family history of migraine was seen in 30%, specially the females, [5,2] while a large proportion of patients (49%) did not feel the need for any consultation. Thirty percent of patients attributed their headache to stress, while only a small proportion (10%) attributed it to migraine.…”

BACKGROUNDHeadache is essentially a multifactorial disorder and occupies significant disease burden on society. One of the important and frequent causes of such headaches is migraine; if this is untreated the occasional headaches may turn to more frequent and chronic form. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of migraine headaches in the patients who attended Ophthalmic, Psychiatry, ENT OPD to identify trigger factors and to know its impact on the routine activities and to assess their awareness about the disease in the study population. MATERIALS AND METHODSThe target population was the patients in the OPD of the above mentioned departments. All patients who were having headache for more than 6 months were included in the study. Anyone with a history less than 6 months was excluded. International classification of headache disorders (ICHD 2) was utilised to confirm the diagnosis of common migraine (without aura). A questionnaire was prepared for all the patients, which were duly filled by all the patients included in our study which covered demographic profile, character of pain, frequency, duration and intensity of the attacks, accompanying factors, trigger factors, relieving factors and family history of migraine. RESULTSMigraine was seen in 42.4% of patients of the entire headache sample population. There was a female preponderance of 70%. The frequency of attacks were more than 5 per month in 30% of patients, while weekly and daily attacks were seen in 25% and 13% patients respectively. The remaining 12% could not report any fixed frequency. Of these, 83% patients felt that their headaches lasted for more than 4 hours, while for 12% it lasted for days in continuation. Heaviness of head also persisted for days post an acute attack. Headache did not subside completely even after taking analgesics like diclofenac, aceclofenac and tramadol. CONCLUSIONTrigger factors are common in migraine patients. The population under study is subject to various stress factors and recognition of trigger factors will achieve headache remission in a vast majority. Trigger factors in our study group were poor sleep, emotional stress, weather changes and head movements. In fact 75% patients did feel relieved of their headaches after sleep, though improved. Relieving factors like good sleep, vomiting and food intake help to relieve pain. However, one can prevent it by taking prophylactic medications. There are many medicines available with very good results.

“…Gabmann et al (2009) reported that 2.6% of 8-year-old and 10.7% of 15-year-old children had at least one headache weekly [20]. Other studies conducted in Canada, Southern England and Italy also show the same trends [21][22][23]. It has shown that body weight and sleep time are related to certain type, but not all of primary headache.…”
