| Sumario: | Introduction: Some types of headache may be genetically inherited, but it is not yet established in the literature whether the presence of headache in the mother child may be correlated with the presence of headache in the mother. Objective: To identify the frequency of complaints of childhood headache and to associate it with the presence of headache in the mother. Materials and methods: Children enrolled in a school in São Luís, Brazil, aged 5 to 12 years old, of both genders were included, and those individuals who were not present on the day of collection who did not present the Free Consent Term and clarified (EHIC) signed by the mother and that they presented some cognitive problem. Results: Ninety-eight children (n = 49 (55.68%)) and n = 39 (44.31%) males were evaluated. Each genus was divided into two groups: pain and no pain. Of the total mothers evaluated, n = 68 (88.31%) reported having headache and the majority n = 44 (64.70%) reported routine physical exertion as the main factor of worsening. Of the total number of children with headache n = 81 (92.04%) had mothers who also reported having headache n = 68 (88.31%), a positive association was observed, OR / CI = 2.2 (0.25-1, 36) between the presence of headache in the child and the status of the mother's headache. Conclusion: The status of headache in the mother is associated with the presence of headache in children, pointing to the importance of orientation and prevention of this disease among children, their parents and teachers. |
