“…These results are comparable to those reported in Barea et al study 12 , which found a lifetime prevalence of 93,2% in Brazilian schoolchildren, and to those reported by Rasmussen et al 2 , who stated that only 4% of the total population have never had a headache episode. Other studies also found a high prevalence of headache among students: 69% by age 14 13,14 ; 93% of the girls of 10 to 16 years-old 15 ; two thirds of children of 13 years of age 16 ; 99.7% 5 ; 56% of the boys and 55% of the girls 17 (Table 6).…”

Mortimer et al 17 observed that the last 12 months prevalence among children of 9 to 11 years-old was 54.9% for boys and 51.6% for girls.…”

-This study analyzed prevalence, frequency and cause of headache among 460 children ranging from 10 to 14 years-old from a Brazilian school. A questionnaire was handed both to children and parents to know if there would be differences among children and parental reports. The lifetime prevalence of headache was 93.5% (children reports) and 93.3% (parental reports). The last year prevalence was 90% (children) and 89.8% (parents). Headache episodes were frequent in 17.6% (children) and 18.5% (parents). The most often reported cause was "flu" (39.1% by children, and 46.7% by parents). This study demonstrated that the prevalence of headache in children is high; moreover, there were noted few differences between data obtained from children and parents. So, we could say that when the objective of a epidemiologic study is to determine the prevalence of headache in children, both children and parental reports may be used.KEY WORDS: headache, schoolchildren, epidemiology. Prevalência de cefaléia em crianças de uma escola de Curitiba, Brasil, comparando dados obtidos de crianças e paisRESUMO -Este estudo analisou prevalência, frequência e motivo da cefaléia entre 460 crianças de 10 a 14 anos de uma escola brasileira. Com a finalidade de saber se haveria diferenças obtendo informações das crianças ou dos pais, um questionário foi entregue a ambos. A prevalência durante a vida foi 93,5% (relatos das crianças) e 93,3% (relatos dos pais). A prevalência nos últimos 12 meses foi 90% (crianças) e 89,8% (pais). As cefaléias foram frequentes em 17,6% (crianças) e 18,5% (pais). O motivo mais citado foi "gripe" (39,1% pelas crianças e 46,7% pelos pais). Esse estudo demonstrou ser alta a prevalência de cefaléia entre crianças; além disso, poucas diferenças entre dados obtidos de crianças e pais foram observadas. Dessa forma, poderíamos dizer que quando o objetivo de um estudo epidemiológico é determinar a prevalência de cefaléia em crianças, tanto os relatos das crianças como os dos pais podem ser utilizados.

“…Population-based studies reported that the prevalence of migraine in childhood and adolescence ranges from 3% to 14% [1][2][3][4][5][6]. From the time of Wolff's early portrait of the childhood personality characteristics of migraine patients, the research began to explore the association of headache first with broad personality traits and then with distinct psychiatric symptoms [7,8].…”

Present and previous psychopathology of juvenile onset migraine: a pilot investigation by Child Behavior Checklist

The objective was to describe the premorbid state of migraine with juvenile onset. Thirty subjects with migraine and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled in a case-control study. A structured questionnaire (Child Behavior Checklist, CBCL) was administered to the mothers and ratings were obtained for the past two age periods (0-3 and 4-6 years) and for the present state. CBCL scores of the migraine group (MG) were compared to those of the control group (CG) during the three periods. A longitudinal study was performed to evaluate the evolution of psychopathology comparing CBCL scores of MG in the three age periods. During the premorbid period MG showed significantly higher mean scores on total, internalising, anxious-depressive scales. In the longitudinal perspective, internalising traits were present in the premorbid period in MG. Children later diagnosed as having migraine differ from CG in several scales during different age periods. Migraine could be considered as the expression of a previous vulnerability.

RESUMO -Cefaléia é sintoma comum na população, com prevalência ao longo da vida superior a 90%. Acarreta importante impacto na qualidade de vida de seus portadores. O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar a prevalência da migrânea entre trabalhadores de um hospital universitário, bem como mensurar a intensidade, interferência e impacto dela em algumas atividades cotidianas. Um total de 1890 funcionários respondeu a questionário que possibilitava o diagnóstico da migrânea. A prevalência dessa cefaléia ao longo da vida foi 30,4%. A dor foi considerada como intensa, na maioria das vezes, por 86% dos migranosos. Verificou-se impacto importante em aspectos da vida cotidiana tanto durante como no intervalo das crises de dor. Conclui-se que a migrânea representa problema de saúde pública entre os funcionários do HC. Por acarretar importante impacto na qualidade de vida desses trabalhadores, é possível haver diminuição da capacidade laborativa deles, com prejuízo econômico considerável. Cremos que este problema mereça, portanto, atenção especial, através de melhor diagnóstico e tratamento. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: migrânea, prevalência, qualidade de vida. Migraine prevalence and impact: an university hospital employees based studyABSTRACT -Headache is a common symptom in the population, with a life prevalence around 90%. It results in an important impact in the life quality of sufferers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of migraine among employees of an university hospital (HC), as well as to measure the headache intensity, interference and impact in the daily activities. A total of 1890 employees had answered to a questionnaire which made possible to carry out diagnosis of migraine. Life prevalence of this headache type was 30.4%. Pain was considered intense, most of the time, by 86% of the migraneurs . It was verified an important impact in the daily life aspects as much during as between the headache attacks. It can be concluded that migraine represents a public health problem among the HC employees. Because migraine brings about an important impact in the life quality of those workers, it is possible that a reduction of working capacity with considerable economic burden exists. This problem deserves, thus, special attention, through a better diagnostic and treatment.KEY WORDS: migraine, prevalence, life quality.Desde os primórdios da civilização, o ser humano preocupa-se com a cefaléia. Referências sobre ela existem na literatura médica pré-hipocrática.
