MODERN APPROACHES IN CHILDREN'S HEALTH WITH STRESS RELATED HEADACHES

This scientific work explores the clinical features, causes, and contemporary treatment strategies for tension-type headache in children, one of the most prevalent and often underdiagnosed neurological conditions in the pediatric population. The study highlights the multifactorial origin of tension-type headache, emphasizing psychological stress, musculoskeletal strain, and lifestyle imbalances as central contributing factors. Special attention is given to the importance of early diagnosis based on clinical evaluation, patient history, and the use of structured assessment tools designed for children. The research reviews both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment approaches, with a focus on behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral interventions, physical therapy, and biofeedback techniques. Preventive strategies such as stress management, sleep hygiene, physical activity, and nutritional regulation are also discussed as key elements in reducing the frequency and severity of headache episodes. Furthermore, the work highlights the psychosocial impact of chronic headache on children’s academic performance, emotional health, and social development.
