Screen time and pediatric headache: A scoping review of the literature.

Objective: The aim of this study was to summarize the evidence regarding screen use as a contributing factor in pediatric headache and migraine.

Background: Screen exposure is often reported as a headache trigger, though there is no current consensus in terms of how screen type, duration, or frequency influences pediatric headache and the associated burden of disease.

Methods: A systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, ProQuest Health and Medical Database, and Google Scholar was performed through November 2022 in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.

Pediatric screen exposure and school related headache disability.

Background And Objectives: Prolonged screen exposure is often cited as a trigger for pediatric headache. We present initial findings evaluating the association between adolescent screen use type, duration, and school disability.

Methods: New patients aged 12-17 years presenting to a headache clinic were screened and surveyed regarding headache characteristics, behavioral habits, school attendance, and screen utilization.

Gaps in Neurogenetics Education During Child Neurology Residency: Results of a National Survey.

The practice of child neurology has changed significantly in the past two decades as we have integrated genetic testing into our standard of care to achieve precise diagnoses and to guide management of many childhood neurological conditions. Despite this paradigm shift, there appears to be a gap in both clinical exposure to neurogenetic disorders and education provided to residents in ordering and interpreting genetic testing. We therefore conducted a national survey for child neurology trainees in all programs across the United States to delineate their perception of the adequacy of current training and didactics in genetic/neurogenetic disorders.

Natural History of Abortive Medication Withdrawal in the Management of Pediatric Medication Overuse Headache.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Children's National Hospital's Headache Program.

Pediatric Migraine and Academics.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to examine the multitude of factors which may impact learning and academic performance in patients with pediatric migraine.

Recent Findings: A range of associations of varying degree were noted between pediatric migraine and conditions such as ADHD, learning disabilities, sleep disorders, and psychiatric comorbidities with regard to headache pain and school functioning. Recent literature highlights the importance of sleep in relation to headache, mood disorders, and learning in youth and the emerging role of perfectionism.

Pediatric headache: overview.
