Pediatric Headache: A Case Study

Headaches are the most common neurologic issue in pediatrics, affecting up to 88% of children and adolescents, and are one of the most common reasons that children seek medical care (Langdon & DiSabella, 2017). Furthermore, headaches can significantly affect quality of life and cause children to miss school and extracurricular activities (Langdon & DiSabella, 2017). Knowing how to manage headaches and differentiate between types of headaches and understand symptoms of a potential serious underlying condition are important skills for the pediatric nurse practitioner.
