Specific Headache Factors Predict Sleep Disturbances Among Youth With Migraine

Sleep and Pain in Pediatric Illness: A Conceptual Review

“…• Unknown initiating and maintaining sleep, bruxism, and poor sleep quality [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61], are more likely in youth with headaches or migraines than healthy peers. Predictors of sleep disturbance include evening or nighttime headaches, migraines versus other headaches, greater pain and headache frequency, and a longer time since onset of chronic headaches [54,60,[62][63][64][65].…”

Pediatric Headache and Sleep Disturbance: A Comparison of Diagnostic Groups

“…Further, Shanahan et al found a bidirectional relationship in which sleep problems were both predicted by and predictive of psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression. In addition to anxiety and depression, migraine‐related disability was also significantly associated with poor sleep quality …”

“…In addition to anxiety and depression, migraine-related disability was also significantly associated with poor sleep quality. 19 Given the significant implications both sleep and headache have on a child's daily functioning, it is important to determine the extent of sleep difficulties across children with different headache diagnoses. Thus far research on sleep disturbance in children and adolescents with headache has largely been conducted only on those with migraines 17,20 or in samples with mixed headache diagnoses, 16,21 where comparisons by headache diagnosis were not conducted.…”

“…4 Migraine is a chronic and mostly unilateral headache that its symptoms are often started with nausea, vomiting and light and sound sensitivity. 5 Migraine headaches require proper treatment in a short time. Sumatriptan succinate, a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine-1 receptor agonist, is an effective antimigraine drug which is effective for acute treatment of migraine via oral route.…”

“…In most situations this headache is associated with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and in some cases autonomic dysfunction. 5 Treatment of migraine with simple solid oral formulations needs extra time for disintegration of the dosage form in the stomach which may delay the onset of action. Indeed, nausea associated with most cases of migraine may impair the swallowing reflex in the patients.…”
