Özet
Headache is one of the most common symptoms in children and adolescents. Lifetime prevalence reaches 90%. In a review of 64 epidemiological studies, the mean prevalence of headache was 54.4% and the mean prevalence of migraine was 9.1% [1]. The World Health Organization included migraine among the top 10 health problems of children and adolescents in the 50 most populous countries of the world [2]. As an example, in Turkey, the one-year prevalence of headache was 73.7% and that of migraine was 26.7% (definite migraine 7.3%, probable migraine 19.4%) [3]. This nation-wide study applied for the first time a validated questionnaire intended to be used in different countries all over the world [3–8].
