Abstract
This study evaluates specific electroencephalogram abnormalities in pediatric migraine and tension-type headaches, and demonstrates the clinical value of these abnormalities. We studied 50 migraine patients and 50 tension-type headache patients. Their mean age ± SD was 10.62 ± 3.21 (range, 5-16) years in the migraine group, and 13.00 ± 2.37 (7-16) years in the tension-type headache group. Diagnoses were rendered according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition, First Revision, of the International Headache Society. All patients underwent two waking-state electroencephalograms, one during a headache, and the other when headache-free. Thirty-six percent (18/50) of migraine patients and 12% (6/50) of tension-type headache patients revealed specific electroencephalogram abnormalities in headache attack electroencephalograms (P < 0.05). In headache-free period electroencephalograms, 16% (8/50) of the migraine group and 2% (1/50) of the tension-type headache group revealed abnormalities (P < 0.05). Our results indicate that electroencephalogram abnormalities are particularly prevalent in migraines, especially during headache attacks. This study is the first, to the best of our knowledge, on electroence...Continue Reading
