Abstract
Headache in children and adolescents is among the most common complaints and increased focused topic all over the world. Main problems in the diagnosis and management process are education and compliance. This issue not only related to the patients but also includes physicians, families, and school counselors as well. No studies have systematically examined medication adherence in children with headache, and the few available studies examining adherence to behavioral treatment have documented adherence rates ranging from 52 to 86%. Current literature shows that adherence research in children with headache, and adherence intervention research in both adults and children, is scant. Future research should use objective measures of adherence; consider over-the-counter medications and medication overuse; examine demographic, psychological, and behavioral correlates of adherence; assess adherence to botulinum toxin type A; and examine the efficacy of adherence interventions in individuals with headache. This chapter focused compliance and partially adherence problems of children and adolescent with headache.
