AB Headaches  are  common  in  children,  with  the  average  age  of  onset  at  7  for  boys  and  11  for  girls.  The  frequency  of  migraine  increases  through  adolescence.  An  estimated  8%  to  23%  of  children  aged  11  to  15  experience  headaches.  Headaches  can  be  divided  into  two  categories,  primary  or  secondary.  Primary  refers  to  headaches  that  occur  on  their  own  and  not  as  the  result  of  some  other  health  problem.  Primary  headaches  (Figure  6-1)  include  migraine,  migraine  with  aura,  tension-type  headache,  and  cluster  headache.
