The prevalence of headache disorders among children and adolescents in Georgia: a cross-sectional schools-based study
Headache is very common among children and adolescents in Georgia. The findings raise particular concern about the prevalence of H15 + in young people, with a strong trend of increasing pMOH with age. They also highlight the diagnostic uncertainties inherent in epidemiological studies in these age groups. With the definition of UdH a dominating issue, the findings support the view that it needs to be modified, without offering a definitive solution.
