Headaches are among the most common chronic medical problems of children. A minority of headaches in children have serious and/or lifethreatening causes including meningitis encephalitis, cerebrovascular malfunctions, hydrocephalus, subdural hematomas, brain tumors, carbon monoxide poisoning, and hypertension. The majority of headaches are in the category of migraines or tension headaches. The etiology of juvenile migraines is still uncertain, and multiple treatment options with varying results reflect this uncertainty. A new treatment option includes training the child with migraines or tension headaches, in relaxation and self-regulation of pain.
