Characterizing sleep, headache‐related disability, and psychological functioning among adolescents with continuous headache: A pilot study from a tertiary clinical setting
High rates of clinically meaningful sleep difficulties were identified in youth with continuous headache. Although sleep-wake difficulties were not significantly different from a comparison sample of youth with noncontinuous headaches, future research is needed to examine the role of sleep in long-term clinical outcomes for youth with high-frequency headache conditions like continuous headache. Screening and targeted interventions focused on sleep difficulties should be incorporated into treatment for these youth.
