Your SchoolMed Monthly Insight
Headaches are among the top-five reasons for a SchoolMed Visit throughout the entirety school year. With many root causes, it makes sense that headaches are among the top medical conditions ‘burdening’ adolescents and young adults.1
The concept of ‘burdening’ is worth unpacking as it relates to the impact a headache can have on a student’s ability to engage in activiteis or learning. For adults, OTC medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofecn can help an aching head. And they can be for students, too:
- An incredible 90% of adolescents have reported having a headache.2
- Serious, underlying disorder is rarely the cause of a headache.3
- The most common headaches in children are migraines and tension-type.4
Different headache types can have different feelings and causes, and SchoolMed providers have the experience to help school health staff provide a pathway to care for every student.
