["Precursor phenomena" as a criterion in the choice of prevention of primary headache of the hemicrania type].
The importance of headache precursors as expression of latent headache is emphasized. The authors report data from a clinical-epidemiological survey of 322 youngster (143 m and 179 f) aged 4-16 with primary headache aimed at assessing latent time between precursors and onset of headache. The appearance of precursors is considered the time appropriate for prophylaxis.
