Objective The objective is to give an update on the current state of research on the genetics of primary headache in children and adolescents. Background Investigations of the genetics of migraine in adults have changed our understanding of the pathophysiology of migraine, but knowledge from our adult patients cannot be directly applied to pediatric patients. Methods The study was conducted through searches of PubMed and Web of Science.

Background: Psychosocial stress can induce various physical symptoms, including fever, which is a commonly seen symptom in pediatric practice. In cases of unexplained fever, psychogenic fever should be considered as a potential cause. Children with neurodevelopmental disorders may be more vulnerable to stress and therefore more prone to developing somatic symptoms than their peers.

Objective: Several studies examined stress factors in both adult and pediatric patients with migraine, but few of them have analyzed coping strategies adopted to deal with stressful events in pediatric age. In particular, some of these studies have focused on specific migraine populations or have not employed standardized instruments. Our study used a standardized tool to investigate the coping strategies adopted by patients with primary migraine in dealing with stressful events.

Headaches are a common reason for pediatric visits to the emergency department. Emergency clinicians must distinguish between common and dangerous secondary causes of headache and primary headache disorders such as migraine and tension-type headaches. This issue discusses the diagnosis of primary headaches by history and physical examination, the options for first-line treatment of primary headache and for severe or refractory migraines, and procedural interventions that may be considered when other therapies have failed.

Research on calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) in adult migraine is extensive, but its role in childhood migraine remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate serum CGRP levels in children experiencing migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) during interictal periods, comparing these levels to age-matched healthy controls. A total of 66 migraine patients, 59 with TTH, and 53 controls were recruited and stratified by headache onset age: under 7, 7-12, and over 12 years.
