The prevalence of headache disorders in children and adolescents in Nepal: a schools-based cross-sectional study
This study, complementing our adult study, showed that headache is highly prevalent also among children and adolescents in Nepal. As among adults, migraine was strongly and positively associated with altitude. The finding of less pMOH and other H15 + among these young people suggests opportunity to avert some of the headache-attributed burden among adults.
