Migraine and headache are global disabling conditions causing considerable individual suffering and impaired quality of life in adults as well as in children and adolescents. Therefore, epidemiological studies are essential to assess the scope of the problem. This review covers epidemiological studies on migraine and headache in children and adolescents published in the past 25 years. A total of 64 cross-sectional studies have been identified, published in 32 different countries and including a total of 227,249 subjects. The estimated overall mean prevalence of headache was 54.4% (95% CI 43.1-65.8) and the overall mean prevalence of migraine was 9.1% (95% CI 7.1-11.1). There is a lack of population-based studies from low and low-middle income countries. In addition, there is very little information about the prevalence of probable migraine and chronic migraine and no information about menstrual migraine in the young.
偏头痛和头痛是全球性的致残疾病，会给成年人、儿童和青少年带来严重的个体痛苦和生活质量受损。因此，开展流行病学研究对于评估这一问题的范围至关重要。本综述涵盖了过去 25 年发表的关于儿童和青少年偏头痛和头痛的流行病学研究。共确定了 64 项横断面研究，发表在 32 个不同的国家，共有 227249 名受试者。头痛的总体估计患病率为 54.4%（95%CI 43.1-65.8），偏头痛的总体估计患病率为 9.1%（95%CI 7.1-11.1）。来自低收入和中低收入国家的基于人群的研究非常缺乏。此外，关于可能的偏头痛和慢性偏头痛的流行情况信息很少，关于年轻女性月经性偏头痛的信息则没有。
