Abstract

A community-based sample of 122 adolescents aged 12-14 years with chronic daily headache (CDH) was established in 2000 at University centers in Taiwan by a survey of 7,900 students in 5 selected public middle schools.

Highlights

  • Year follow-up, but the 25% with persistent chronic daily headache (CDH) still have a headache disability at 8-year follow-up and 12% have CDH, the majority diagnosed with chronic migraine

  • At short-term 1 and 2-year follow-up, CDH persisted in 40% subjects in 2001, and in 25% subjects in 2002 (7.7+/-6.5 days)

  • At long-term 8-year follow-up, the headache profile for the past year was determined by the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire
