The Pathogenetic Mechanisms of Tension-Type Headaches in Children and Principles of Its Prevention

Abstract

The article presents a literature review concerning mechanisms of headache development in children. The authors considered the principles of headache prevention in children.

Psychovegetative Changes and Posture Disorders in Tension Headaches

“…The prevalence among the European population is 60% [5], the indicator is higher among women (in the ratio of 4:5) [5 ]. The prevalence depends not only on age, but also on race and level of education [6].…”

“…Zbo is a common disease among adults, it affects from 30% to 78% of the population, and this indicator varies around the world [1]. The prevalence among the European population is 60% [5], the indicator is higher among women (in the ratio of 4:5) [5 ]. The prevalence depends not only on age, but also on race and level of education [6].…”

“…Muscle tension and cervicogenic factors occupy an important place in the formation of NWBO. The presence of connections between the area of distribution of BO and a specific muscle corresponds to myofascial pain [5]. Myofascial pain is characteristic of ZBO, migraine, cervicogenic bo.…”

“…Myofascial pain is characteristic of ZBO, migraine, cervicogenic bo. Trigeminovascular and trigeminoservical mechanisms are also involved in the formation of bo [2,6]. Ferguson L.U.…”

“…Having complete knowledge about the disease, knowledge of the mechanisms of formation of the pathological process provides the optimal treatment option. The pathogenetic mechanism of tension headaches (zbo), autonomic disorders and posture changes is still being studied and is causing discussion [6].…”
