Headaches in children are common and the prevalence is increasing worldwide. The phenotypes of headaches change throughout growth and development making differential diagnosis a challenge. Children of all ages experience headaches but these can be difficult to recognize and diagnose particularly in the younger ages. Early intervention addressing the chemical, mechanical and psychological factors contributing to an individual’s headache is essential. This reduces the risk for central sensitization associated with chronicity and disability including the risk for headache in adulthood.
