“…During this analysis we showed an important effect of unilateral pain localization on migraine with atopic disorders comorbidity. The unilateral headache localization and the throbbing headache quality of ETTH sufferers' support the possible transforming characteristics of ETTH to migraine in this age group, as mentioned previously in our epidemiological study …”

“…A large‐scale population‐based cross‐sectional study (The Head‐HUNT Study) has confirmed that migraine is associated with respiratory and allergic disorders and these data are supported by other previous reports . Episodic tension type headache (ETTH) is a frequent headache subtype in children and adolescents that shares some pathophysiological mechanism with migraine and is a potential transforming risk factor for migraine in adulthood and vice versa . ETTH sufferers reported some atopic disorder comorbidities in an adult age group but there was a lower ratio than in a migraine subgroup …”

Background: The aim of the study is to analyses the clinical profile and disability of children presenting with chronic daily headache to the pediatric outpatient department.Methods: Children and adolescents aged 5-15 years presenting to the paediatric outpatient department with chronic headache were included in the study after obtaining informed consent. Disability due to headache was assessed using the PedMIDAS scoring system. Headache severity was assessed using the visual analog scale for children above 6 years of age and Faces pain scale for children below 6 years.Results: Thirty eight children and adolescents presenting with chronic headache were recruited into the study. Of these children and adolescents, 53% (20) were diagnosed with chronic migraine, 42% (16) children fulfilled the criteria for chronic Tension-type headache and 5% (2) had chronic migraine with aura. The mean Paediatric Migraine Disability Assessment score (PedMIDAS) used to assess the disability due chronic headache was 20.72.Conclusions: Female gender and adolescent age groups are important risk factors for chronic daily headache. Most children and adolescents with CDH have mild disability as assessed using PedMIDAS scoring system.

“…The estimated overall mean prevalence of headache was 54.4 % and the overall mean prevalence of migraine was 9.1 % [7]. Totally, 10.4 % of the children, predominantly the girls, received the diagnosis of migraine when they grew older [8]. Indeed, it is well known that children frequently change their headache prevalence and characteristics, and even the type of headache shows important changes in the course of the adolescence and adulthood, independently from the use of either pharmacological or behavioural treatment or both.…”

Migraine is one of the most frequently reported somatic complaints in childhood, with a negative impact on health-related quality of life. The incidence of migraine in childhood has substantially increased over the past 30 years, probably due to both increased awareness of the disease and lifestyle changes in this age group. Indeed, several conditions have been identified as risk factors for migraine in childhood. Amongst these, dysfunctional family situation, the regular consumption of alcohol, caffeine ingestion, low level of physical activity, physical or emotional abuse, bullying by peers, unfair treatment in school and insufficient leisure time seem to play a critical role. Nevertheless, there are only few studies about the association between migraine and lifestyle in childhood, due to previous observations specifically focused on "headache" in children. In this brief review, we will concentrate upon recent studies aimed to explore migraine and lifestyle risk factors in childhood.
