Abstract
The outcomes and predictors of chronic daily headache (CDH) were determined in a 2-year longitudinal study of a sample of 122 adolescents (32 male/90 female; ages 12-14) with annual telephone follow-up by neurologists at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan.
Highlights
Based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders-2nded 2004 (ICHD-2), the prevalence of migraine was not significantly changed during follow-up (67% at baseline and 60% at 2 years), whereas tension-type headache (CTTH) decreased from 86% to 46% in the same time interval (P0.001)
When using ICHD-2 appendix criteria (2006), chronic migraine prevalence increased 3 to 4 times when compared with the original ICDH-2 criteria
Chronic migraine became more common than CTTH in patients with persistent chronic daily headache (CDH) in 2001 and 2002
Summary
(ICHD-2), the prevalence of migraine was not significantly changed during follow-up (67% at baseline and 60% at 2 years), whereas tension-type headache (CTTH) decreased from 86% to 46% in the same time interval (P0.001). Effect of long-term treatment with stimulant medication on growth of ADHD children. The reports of retarded growth of ADHD children treated with stimulants have been questioned in two recent studies (Pliszka SR et al, 2006; Spencer TJ et al, 2006) showing minimal or no significant effects on growth.
