“…When revising the literature, Özge [8] reported published prevalences for headaches among schoolchildren from 5.9% to 82%. Further, different authors only found e.g., a poor agreement between headache frequency and intensity reported retrospectively in questionnaires and interviews compared with continuously registered data from diaries [27,35,36]. Also, the source of information plays an important role and contributes to the wide range of published results.…”

Prevalences of primary headache symptoms at school-entry: a population-based epidemiological survey of preschool children in Germany

et al. 2006

Primary headache and functional abdominal pain prevalences in an unselected populationbased sample of German preschool children and their parents (n=885) were collected in relation to health-related quality of life and sociodemographic variables. The pain symptoms were assessed according to IHS classification (2004) and Rome-II criteria (1999) during the 2004 data census. The participation rate was 62.7%, with an equal gender distribution. The focus of this paper lies on the symptom-oriented point prevalences for primary headaches of preschool children: 3.6% headache, 33.2% abdominal pain, 48.8% headache+abdominal pain and 14.4% without pain. High comorbidities for pain-affected children have been found. Pain intensities differ significantly only for abdominal pain (one-way ANOVA F=3,339, df=4/445, p=0.010*), not for headaches. However, recurrent headaches show a striking ratio in favour of boys (10:1). Children at preschool age have high quality-of-life measures, already influenced negatively by paediatric pain experiences (one-way ANOVA: F=9,193, df=4/546, p=0.000**). Headache and abdominal pain are relevant for children's everyday life; hence, simultaneous and prospective assessment is an essential issue in public health research.

“…In addition, the prevalence of HA is 2 times greater among the 18.4% of youth aged 12 to 17 who have special health care needs (16.0%). 12 Studies suggest that many youth with HA experience HA on a weekly basis [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and that they are 4 times more likely to miss an above routine number of school days and to have repeated emergency department visits. 20 Common conventional recommendations to prevent HA include improving lifestyle, particularly diet, sleep, and stress.…”

Complementary and Conventional Medicine Use Among Youth With Recurrent Headaches

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasingly common among American youth; however, information on use of CAM among youth with recurrent headache (HA) is limited. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Youth across a range of chronic conditions experience HA. These youth are more likely to use CAM. Use and expenditures for conventional medical care, and increased difficulties in activity and functioning are greater for youth with HA who use CAM. RESULTS: Of the 10.6% of youth experiencing HA, 29.6% used CAM, rising to 41% for the many HA sufferers who also experienced difficulties with emotions, concentration, behavior, school attendance, or daily activities. Biologically based products (16.2%) and mind-body therapies (13.3%) were most commonly used, especially by the 86.4% of youth with HA experiencing at least 1 other chronic condition. Compared with non-CAM users, youth with HA who used CAM also had higher expenditures for and use of most types of conventional care.CONCLUSIONS: CAM use is most common among youth with HA experiencing multiple chronic conditions and difficulties in daily functioning. Associations among CAM use, multiple chronic conditions, and higher use of conventional care highlight the need for medical providers to routinely ask about CAM use to meet the complex health needs of their patients and facilitate the optimal integration of care. Research is needed to identify models for coordinating complementary and conventional care within a medical home and to understand the health benefits or risks associated with CAM use in conjunction with conventional treatments for patients with HA.

“…The overall prevalence of BP was 25% [95% CI [23][24][25][26][27][28] in the second survey year for children in grades 1-5 and 24% [95% CI [22][23][24][25][26][27] in survey year three for children in grades 2-6. Prevalence of "BP at least once" was thus similar from one survey year to the next.…”

Back pain in children surveyed with weekly text messages - a 2.5 year prospective school cohort study

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Back pain is reported to occur already in childhood, but its development at that age is not well understood. The aims of this study were to describe BP in children aged 6-12 years, and to investigate any sex and age differences. Methods: Data on back pain (defined as pain in the neck, mid back and/or lower back) were collected once a week from parents replying to automated text-messages over 2.5 school years from 2008 till 2011. The prevalence estimates were presented as percentages and 95% confidence intervals. Differences between estimates were considered significant if confidence intervals did not overlap. A test for trend, using a multi-level mixed-effects logistic regression extended to the longitudinal and multilevel setting, was performed to see whether back pain reporting increased with age.
