Key clinical point: Youth with continuous headache from migraine, persistent post-traumatic headache (PPTH), and new daily persistent headache (NDPH) presented remarkably similar headache features, with most PPTH and NDPH cases resembling abrupt onset of migraine.
Major finding: Youths with migraine, PPTH, and NDPH had similar median usual headache severity score (P = .55), similar frequency of bad headaches (P = .63), and similar raw Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment score (P = .28). Overall, 72% youths with PPTH and 64% of youths with NDPH met all four diagnostic criteria for migraine.
Study details: This cross-sectional study included 150 age- and sex-matched youths with continuous headache from migraine, PPTH, or NDPH who had prior exposure to ≤2 preventive medications.
