“…The children with migraine studied here missed, on average, 23.9 days regarding some daily life activities. Lower values were reported by Kröner‐Herwig et al (8.2 days) and by Hershey et al (9.5‐11.7 days).…”

“…This was also observed in a German epidemiological study. According to these authors, these questions would require a more complex cognitive process than the others . Nevertheless, in the most difficult question, 85% of the children were able to respond.…”

“…In this regard, it is a subjective impression of disability and not an exact count. Some studies have criticized this concept in that there is a discrepancy between PedMIDAS report and exact dairy assessment . However, in the original development of PedMIDAS this had been addressed by the observation that although positive and significant, the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.58 for frequency of headaches and 0.27 for severity, suggesting that frequency and severity alone were not absolute predictors of disability, but that the subjective impression of the disability exceeded both the frequency and severity influence.…”

“…Here frequency of headaches was positively correlated to levels of disability, but less so for duration. While substantially lower disability levels have been observed in community samples of children and adolescents with frequent headaches [41, 42], those with a chronic migraine disorder have reported significantly higher disability levels.…”

BackgroundSeveral outcome studies have reported on the short- and long-term effects of migraine in selected clinical samples of children and adolescents. However, current knowledge of the course, incidence, and outcome predictors of frequent headaches in early adolescents in community populations is limited, and little is known about the long-term effects. Headache remains untreated in most of these young people. Here we examined the course, incidence, and outcome predictors of frequent headaches (at least once a week) over the long term (14 years) using previously assessed data at the baseline and 1-year follow-up of early adolescents.MethodsOut of an original sample of 2440 who participated in the first two assessments, a sample of 1266 participants (51.9% response rate) aged 26–28 years (mean = 27.2 years) completed an electronic questionnaire comprising questions about their headache frequency and duration at the long-term follow-up. These headache characteristics together with gender, age, parental divorce, number of friends, school absence, impairment of leisure-time activities and seeing friends, pain comorbidity, and emotional (in particular, depressive symptoms) and behavioral problems were analyzed.ResultsIn these young people, 8.4% reported frequent headaches (at least once a week) at the extended follow-up, while 19% of the participants having such headaches at baseline again reported such levels with a negligible gender difference. Over the follow-up period, 7.4% had developed frequent headaches, and a higher percentage of females reported such headaches (11.3% in females, 1.5% in males). In a multivariate model, frequent headaches at the baseline, gender (worse prognosis in females), impairment of leisure-time activities and seeing friends, and higher level of depressive symptoms significantly predicted headache frequency at the long-term follow-up.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that gender, greater social impairment, and comorbid depressive symptoms are important indicators for both the short- and long-term prognosis of frequent headaches in early adolescents in community populations.
