Abstract
Methods Clinical data for 1029 patients (588 females; 627 Caucasians; mean age = 11.4 years) with headaches were prospectively examined in this hospital based study. Headache diagnosis was made on the basis of ICHD – II, 2004. 1. Headache diagnosis included migraine (n=598); tension type headaches (n=158); other headache types (n=91) and remained unclassified (n=182) patients. We have adopted previous descriptions of terms for anatomical sites for headache location. 2. Occipital locked headache (OLH) is defined as headache that is for all time fixed to the occipital region and never changed side.
