Abstract

A review of data on the main types of primary headaches in adolescents – tension-type headache (THT) and migraine (Mi) – was carried out. Definitions and characteristics of these types of cephalgia are given. The results of our own study are included, which showed differences in the frequency of occurrence and clinical features of these types of pathology in adolescents of different age and sex groups, their association with the type of online behavior and their closer relationship with non-adaptive and pathological (Internet-dependent) behavior of adolescents. Of the 5,195 adolescents surveyed, 51.9% were characterized by adaptive online use (AIU), 40.6% non-adaptive (NIU) and 7.5% pathological (РIU). The authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of adolescents using the Internet for early diagnosis and prevention of primary cephalalgia associated with maladaptive types of online behavior (NIU and РIU).
