CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PRIMARY HEADACHES IN THE SCHOOLCHILDREN OF KRASNODAR
The aim of the work was to study the incidence, structure and characteristics of clinical manifestations of primary headaches in youngest (9-11) and senior (12-17) schoolchildren in Krasnodar, according to the type of educational institution (gymnasium school, general secondary school), sex and age, and their relationship to demographic and social factors. A total of 398 schoolchildren from general secondary schools and 434 pupils from upper secondary schools (9-11 years) and upper secondary schools (12-17 years) in the Krasnodar age groups took part in the nonrandomized supervised study. The schoolchildren of the lower secondary schools and the pupils of the upper secondary schools (9-11 years) and the upper secondary schools (12-17 years). The GB evaluation questionnaire, the PedMID AS questionnaire, the HIT-6 questionnaire, the Spielberger-Hanin self-assessment and alarm assessment scale (STAI), the WHO5 questionnaire, the Specialized Questionnaire (CA), including demographic and social questions, were applied. Primary headache has been identified in 31.2 per cent of schoolchildren in Krasnodar. However, the number of schoolchildren in Krasnodar is high. Among schoolchildren aged between 9 and 11, 33.8 per cent were tension headache. Among schoolchildren aged between 12 and 17, 66.2 per cent were schoolchildren in Krasnodar. Migraines were found in 16.7 per cent of schoolchildren. Both tension headache and migraine were more prevalent in schoolchildren aged 12-17. Primary headache was more frequent among girls, and also among schoolchildren at gymnasium or lyceum, and students with honors. Emotional tension and sleep disorders were reliably more prevalent in schoolchildren with migraines than in students with tension headache. The multi-factor character and ambiguity of the formation of headache in schoolchildren in Krasnodar was revealed. According to the results of the survey, the number of pupils in the school system in Krasnodar and Krasnodar is high. The frequency and intensity of headache is influenced by gender, type of educational institution, school performance, stress factors (family, school) and psycho-emotional disorders, sleep and recreational disorders.
