assignments, classroom lecture and test taking. Therefore, severe headaches contribute to
reduction of students academic performance (Rocha-Fiho & Santos, 2014). Having severe

Determine the effect of headaches on the life of schoolchildren and the

association between headaches and academic performance.

The researcher also included the Pediatric Quality of Life Version 4.0, Childrens
Depression Inventory and the State-Trait Inventory were used during the study.
According to Rocha-Filho, P. A., & Santos, P. V. (2014), Prevalence of
headaches: headache: 97.3% (179/184); migraine: 51% (94/184); tension-type
headache: 33% (61/184); primary stabbing headache: 7.6% (14/184); unclassified
headaches: 5.4% (10/184). Migraine (relative risk: 3.11; 95%
confidence interval: 1.54-6.30) and more severe headaches (relative risk: 7.93;
95% confidence interval: 2.65-23.7) were associated with lower quality of life (P <
.01; multivariate logistic regression).
In the research reports, headaches were not associated with students failing during
the school year. We could conduct further research on how few children failed to
be promoted to the next year and how the impact of headaches
may not have been identified.
Students with severe headache average 3 -13 absents day throughout the school
year. The research report found migraines were associated with a lower quality of
life in children. The study also found that students headaches were associated
with lower average grades and not a great cause of their academic performance in
the classroom.
