Many reports in the literature seem to confirm the hypothesis that the symptoms of periodic syndrome are precursors or the equivalent of migraine: the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of periodic syndrome in a group of children and adolescents suffering from migraine in comparison with that observed in various control groups. We considered seven symptoms: recurrent vomiting and abdominal pain, migrating limb pain, vertigo, recurrent hyperthermia with no visible cause, sleep disturbances and eating disorders. The study involved 171 children divided into four groups; 42 migraineurs; 37 subjects with chronic nervous pathologies but no psychosomatic symptoms; 46 subjects with a known psychosomatic disease, and 46 healthy subjects. The prevalence of the symptoms in the different control groups was different, although the pattern was more similar in the migraineurs and psychosomatic patients than in the other control groups. The development continuum of the syndrome may support the view that periodic syndrome is predictive of the subsequent development of a psychosomatic pathology.
文献中的许多报告似乎证实了这样一种假说，即周期性综合征的症状是偏头痛的先兆或等同于偏头痛：本研究的目的是评估一组患有偏头痛的儿童和青少年中周期性综合征的患病率，并与各个对照组中观察到的患病率进行比较。我们考虑了七种症状：反复呕吐和腹痛、游走性肢体疼痛、眩晕、无明显原因的反复发热、睡眠障碍和饮食失调。该研究涉及171名儿童，分为四组；42名偏头痛患者；37名患有慢性神经疾病但无身心症状的受试者；46名患有已知身心疾病的受试者，以及46名健康受试者。不同对照组中症状的患病率有所不同，尽管偏头痛患者和身心疾病患者的模式比其他对照组更为相似。该综合征的发展连续性可能支持这样一种观点，即周期性综合征可预测随后身心疾病的发展。
