Headache is considered one of the most common complaints affecting all ages: children, adolescents, and adults. A school-based, cross-sectional study was conducted to assess primary headache among high school students aged 16-18 in Grades 11-12, over a period of 3 weeks (May 2017). A questionnaire was designed, in accordance with the International Headache Society's criteria. The Pearson's χ test was computed to show the differences between the variables. Nearly two thirds of the students reported having headache (19.0% tension-type headache, 8.8% migraine, and 39.0% unknown type). Nearly a quarter sought help for headache, and the most frequently used analgesic was acetaminophen (82.2%) followed by aspirin (5.1%). The current study revealed that the prevalence of headache and migraine was initially high and increased with age. Moreover, headache is one of the major public health problems among high school students. An education program conducted by school nurses and other health-care providers regarding headache and migraine is needed.
头痛被认为是影响所有年龄段（儿童、青少年和成年人）的最常见病症之一。在2017年5月为期3周的时间里，开展了一项基于学校的横断面研究，以评估11至12年级16 - 18岁高中生的原发性头痛情况。根据国际头痛协会的标准设计了一份问卷。计算了Pearson卡方检验以显示变量之间的差异。近三分之二的学生报告有头痛症状（19.0%为紧张型头痛，8.8%为偏头痛，39.0%为不明类型）。近四分之一的学生因头痛寻求帮助，最常用的镇痛药是对乙酰氨基酚（82.2%），其次是阿司匹林（5.1%）。当前研究表明，头痛和偏头痛的患病率最初较高且随年龄增长而增加。此外，头痛是高中生中的主要公共卫生问题之一。学校护士和其他医疗保健提供者需要开展关于头痛和偏头痛的教育项目。
