Tension-type headache in the young.
Headache is common in childhood; recurrent headaches include both migraine and tension-type headache (TTH). Although much of the attention recently has been focused on migraine, TTH can also be problematic for children and needs further study. Standardized criteria have been developed and used for epidemiology and treatment studies, but they are yet to be validated for children. The pathophysiology, selective treatment, impact, and outcome of TTH in children need to be studied further.
