[Non-medication treatment of headache in children with obesity].
Eighty-eight children with obesity including 30 with exogenous-constitutional obesity (ECO) and 58 with hypothalamic obesity (HO) were studied. Using a clinico-instrumental method, we found that the headache was caused by the dysfunction of autonomous nervous system in children with ECO while disturbances of intracranial hemodynamics, changes of the cerebral functional state and autonomous nervous system as well as hypertension were mostly observed in children with HO. The authors suggest treating headache using bitemporal transcranial magnetic therapy that decreases the intensity and frequency of headache in 89% of children regardless of obesity form and causes of cephalgia.
