Understanding the role of family‐based psychological interventions in adolescent headache can be useful in its management.

A recent study issued in ‘HEADACHE’ journal concluded that the parent factors such as protective parenting behaviors, parent headache frequency and disability, and parent catastrophizing may contribute to migraine and tension-type headache in adolescents.

The study was conducted to find the longitudinal relations of parent factors with adolescent headache frequency and headache-related disability over six months. The participants were a group of 239 adolescents (aged 11-17 years). They were suffering from recurrent migraine or tension-type headache.

At follow-up, it was found that every point rise in baseline protective parenting behaviour was leading to a 2.19‐point increase in adolescent headache frequency. Whereas every point rise in baseline parent catastrophizing was found to be linked with an increment of adolescent headache frequency by 0.13-point and 0.93-point in adolescent headache‐related disability.

Thus, it was clearly observed that family factors play a long-term role in the conditions of migraine and tension-type headache in the adolescent population.
