Perception of Triggers in Young Nonclinical School Students with Migrainous Headaches and with Tension Headaches

Abstract

In an exploratory study of a general population of 209 young children (M = 12.9 yr. old), 59% of those with migraine or tension headache (n = 41) reported one or more triggers. More triggers were reported from those with tension headaches than from those with migrainous headaches.
