“…Also, the control group was not selected from the gastroenterology clinic due to the confirmed association between other gastroenterological complaints and headache in previous studies; the control group should be selected from healthy children with no known risk factor of headache (12). Another problem was the difference in the basic mean age between the two groups, which can make the difference in migraine and non-migraine type headache distribution (28).…”

Background/Aims: Constipation and headache are prevalent conditions among children worldwide. Previous studies have shown the relationship between upper gastrointestinal complaints and headache in children. However, the association with lower gastrointestinal complaints such as constipation has not been investigated until present. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between headache and chronic functional constipation in children aged 4-12 years old. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study has evaluated the prevalence of headache in 326 children in Shiraz, Iran 2012. All the subjects and their parents were interviewed based on a structured questionnaire for the diagnosis of constipation and headache. Children with constipation were selected from the Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic Affiliated to the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The control group was selected from healthy children attending Shiraz schools. Diagnosis of headache and constipation were made based on the second Edition of The International Headache Classification (ICHD-2) and ROME III criteria, respectively. Results: Headache prevalence among children with constipation was significantly higher (19.8%) than that of the control group (5.6%) [Odds ratio (OR) 4.192, p<0.001], which was significant only in the non-migraine headache subtypes (15.1% vs 2.8%, OR 25, p<0.002). Among the headache subtypes of different severity (mild, moderate, severe), only mild headache was significantly more prevalent in constipated children (14.9% vs. 1.4%, in the control group, respectively, p<0.001). Conclusion: This study revealed a strong correlation between headache and chronic functional constipation, which can result from the effect of these comorbid conditions with emotional stress, depression, and anxiety.

“…The prevalence data for migraine headache in childhood and adolescence range from 1.2% to 3.2% (male [M] greater than female [F]) in 3-7-year-old patients, up to 8-23% (F 4 M) in 11-to 415-year-old adolescents [Valquist, 1955;Dalsgaard-Nielsen, 1970;Small and Waters, 1974;Sillanpaa, 1976;Mortimer et al, 1992;Lipton et al, 1994]. The difference in migraine prevalence in various child series may reflect the specific quality of the studies, the migraine definition used, and the process of obtaining the history (e.g., questionnaire versus interview).…”

Migraine is a common and disabling disorder, affecting children, adolescents, and adults. Prophylactic therapy should be considered when specific clinical conditions are fulfilled. Its goal is to reduce the frequency and duration of the attacks as well as the severity of pain, thus allowing patients to regain routine activities and ameliorating their quality of life. Using the principles of evidence-based medicine, a review of available published data on the efficacy and safety of prophylactic treatments for migraine in children and adolescents is presented. Currently, only flunarizine and psychologically based interventions (e.g., relaxation training, biofeedback, and psychotherapeutic techniques) may be effective in migraine prophylaxis in children and adolescents. Owing to the paucity of evidence, there is a need for large, controlled, randomized, and masked trials. Clinical researchers should consider that migraine, especially in childhood and adolescence, is a complex condition, resulting from the interaction between biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Specific events, constitutional predisposition, individual and environmental-emotional dynamics can play a significant role in the genesis and evolution of pain. Age-related characteristics such as prevalence, diagnosis, quality of life, and therapy should be considered designing future studies. Drug Dev Res 68: 461-468, 2007.
