TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Migraine and Headache Disorders A1 - Dudley-Harrell, Holly A1 - Holick, Michelle A2 - Kline, Mark W. Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Headache is a common chief complaint in the pediatrician’s practice. During the initial intake, important information to gather includes headache onset, frequency, timing, duration, quality, location, radiation, and associated symptoms. Determining factors that are likely contributing to the headache or identifying “triggers” may aid in prevention or even stop the headaches. By asking these pertinent questions, the provider will achieve accurate classification (primary vs secondary and episodic vs chronic), resulting in more consistent and positive outcomes for patients. Referral to a headache specialist is indicated when headaches appear refractory to standard treatments or if the appropriate classification is in question. Of the multitude of headache types presenting in children, only a handful of commonly encountered headaches are discussed in this chapter. A complete list of headache types and detailed diagnostic criteria may be found in the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3).
