The Journal of Headache and Pain, 09/24/09
Cuvellier J–C et al. – The aim of this 6–month, prospective, multicenter study of 398 children and adolescents with primary headaches was to collect data on headache treatment in neuropediatric departments. Treatments were compared before and after consultation. Prior to consultation, the acute treatments that had been prescribed most frequently were paracetamol (82.2% of children) and non–steroidal anti–inflammatory drugs treatment (53.5%); 10.3% had received a prophylactic treatment. No differences in either acute or prophylactic treatment with respect to headache diagnosis were observed. After the neuropediatric consultation, paracetamol was replaced by a non–steroidal anti–inflammatory drug in about three–quarters of cases and by triptan in about one–quarter of cases. The number of children prescribed a prophylactic treatment nearly doubled, whereas there was a 5–fold and 23–fold increase in psychotherapy and relaxation training, respectively, between pre–referral and referral. The authors conclude that specific treatments were underused for primary headache.
