“…The prevalence of headache in the studied population was 87.8%. Prevalence as high as this has been also reported by other authors 17,18 , however it is still possible to find lower figures (35.1%) 19 , and such differences may be explained by different methodological designs and by the ways to evaluate headache, since some studies classify as has having headache people presenting at least one headache episode in the last three months and other studies consider one episode in the last year. Recently, Albers et al 19 have proposed a systematic review on the prevalence of headache among children and adolescents and have concluded that its increase is proportional to age; however this finding is different from our study which has observed higher chance of reporting headache in the age group from 12 to 15 years of age as compared to adolescents from 16 to 19 years of age.…”

“…As to frequency distribution of different types of primary headache, there has been a prevalence of 30.2% for migraine and 22.5% for tension headache. In a study by Xavier et al 18 with Brazilian adolescents and similar methodology, migraine was also the most common type of headache (19.3%), followed by tension headache (17.9%). Notwithstanding the similarity of methodological designs, discrepancies among prevalence rates were found, possibly because the recruited sample could be exposed to different primary headache triggering factors.…”

“…Confirming such findings, a study carried out with 8042 adolescents with mean age of 13.13 years in Finland, has shown that spending more than three hours per day watching TV increases the chances of having headache 1 . Xavier et al 18 state that adolescents abusively using electronic devices have higher chances (OR=1.52) of having headache. The literature also states that overload of visual system and maintenance of inadequate postures for long periods are reflected in headache reports by adolescents 2,9 .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The use of electronic devices as entertainment and recreation means has directly affected adolescents' lives; however their excessive use may bring consequences. This study aimed at observing the prevalence of primary headaches and their possible association with excessive use of computers among adolescents. METHODS: Participated in the study 262 teenagers aged between 14 and 19 years, students of a public school, who have answered a questionnaire to evaluate socio-demographic variables, data on computer use, presence of headache symptoms and level of physical activity. Multiple models of binary and multinomial logistic regression were used to evaluate the association among variables. Significance level was 5%. RESULTS: Prevalence of headache was 87.8%. There has been no significant difference in the prevalence of headache between genders, but among classification types, tension headache was more prevalent among females (35.4%). Females aged between 12 and 15 years and excessive computer use had higher chances of reporting headache. Females have 15.61 times more chance of reporting tension headache. Adolescents reporting excessive computer use had 2.54 times more chance of reporting migraine. CONCLUSION: Results have shown high prevalence of primary headache among adolescents, being migraine the most prevalent type. Abusive computer use were considered risk factors for the development of headache.

“…An increasing number of studies have shown that there is a close relationship between excessive computer use and headache [34][35][36][37][38]. However, although the association between computer use and headache has been established [39][40][41], only a few studies have diagnosed headache by the latest ICHD-3 guidelines. IT jobs require sitting at a desk and using a computer for many hours a day.…”

Background To date, there have been very few studies that have explored the relationship between headaches and computer use. The chief aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of primary headache disorders among informational technology staff and identify the potential factors contributing to it. Methods This is a cross-sectional study based on annual health checks of employees from the information technology industry. We identified 2216 information technology staff members from Beijing by stratified random sampling who met the inclusion criteria. All participants were initially required to have a physical examination, after which they complete a general situation questionnaire that included a headache screening question. Those who had suffered from headache within the previous year also completed the questionnaire developed by Lifting the Burden. The International Classification of Headache Disorders 3(ICHD-3) criteria was used for the diagnosis of headache. Results A total of 2012 valid questionnaires (males, 1544; females, 468) were obtained from 2216 participants for a response rate of 90.8%. A total of 619 participants were diagnosed with primary headache, the one-year prevalence of which was 30.8%. Regarding the classification of the primary headache, 152 participants suffered from migraine, with a one-year prevalence of 7.6%; 440 and 27 suffered from tension-type headache and unclassified headaches, with one-year prevalences of 21.9% and 1.3%, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis showed that female gender was a risk factor for migraine and tension-type headache (OR 3.21 and 1.88, respectively). Age was also related to migraine and tension-type headache. The 41-50 age group had 2.02 times the probability of migraine, and the 31-40 age group had 1.89 times the probability of tension-type headaches compared to the 18-30 age group. Obesity and excessive computer use (more than 12 hours per day) were also factors contributing to tension-type headache (OR: 2.61 and 1.63, respectively). Conclusions The one-year prevalence of primary headache in this population was 30.8%. The prevalence of tension-type headache in this population was higher than that in the general Chinese population. The occurrence of primary headache is correlated with many factors, among which excessive computer use significantly contributed to the risk of tension-type headache.

“…Furthermore, the young population also appears to be especially vulnerable to electronic device exposure, given the enormous time spent using these devices in their daily routines. These habits are especially considered a risk factor for the development of migraines [ 12 ]. The frequent use of electronic devices (tables, telephones, etc.)…”

(1) Background: Headache is a significant public health problem. Despite the association between headache and neck pain, little is known about the relationships among specific activities that generate neck pain and headache. The aim of this study was to identify the specific activities that result in neck pain and unsteadiness, and determine how they are linked to headache in university students. (2) Methods: One hundred and six patients with physician-diagnosed headache and 92 healthy university students completed surveys assessing demographics; the presence, frequency, intensity, and disability of headaches; and activities generating neck pain and unsteadiness. (3) Results: The presence of headache was related to female gender (p = 0.001), neck pain when reading or watching television (p = 0.024), and unsteadiness when moving the head (p = 0.005). Headache-related disability was associated with intensity of neck pain (p < 0.001), neck pain when reading or watching television (p = 0.033), and stumbling (p < 0.001). Headache frequency was related to smoking (p = 0.004), the duration of neck pain-associated symptoms (p = 0.047), and neck pain when driving (p = 0.039). Intensity of headache was associated with female gender (p = 0.002), smoking (p = 0.013), and neck pain-related sleep alterations (p = 0.024). (4) Conclusions: Female gender, smoking, neck pain, and unsteadiness when moving the head are factors related to headache in university students.
