Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (BJHS) is a most common hereditary connective tissue disorders in children and adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and subtypes of headache in children with BJHS.
This observational-analytical study was conducted in a case-control setting on school children aged 7 to 16 years in 2021-2023 in Isfahan, Iran. Students were examined for BJHS using Beighton criteria by a pediatric rheumatologist. Headache disorder was diagnosed according to the Child Headache-Attributed Restriction, Disability, and Social Handicap and Impaired Participation (HARDSHIP) questionnaires for child and adolescent and International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-III).
A total of 4,832 student (mean age 10.3 ± 3.1 years), 798 patients with BJHS and 912 healthy children were evaluated. The probability of headache in children aged 7-11 with hypermobility was 3.7 times lower than in children aged 12-16 with hypermobility (P = 0.001). The occurrence of headache in children with BJHS was more than the control group (P = 0.001), and the probability of headache in children with BJHS was 3.7 times higher than in healthy children (P = 0.001). Migraine was the most common headache type reported of total cases. The probability of migraine in children with BJHS was 4.5 times higher than healthy children ( P = 0.001).
This study showed a significant correlation between BJHS and headache (especially migraine) in children and adolescents.
良性关节活动过度综合征(BJHS)是儿童和青少年中最常见的遗传性结缔组织疾病。本研究旨在调查 BJHS 患儿头痛的患病率和亚型。
本观察性分析研究于 2021 年至 2023 年在伊朗伊斯法罕的学校儿童中进行,采用病例对照设计,研究对象为 7 至 16 岁的儿童。由儿科风湿病学家使用 Beighton 标准评估学生是否患有 BJHS。根据儿童头痛归因的限制、残疾和社会障碍以及受损参与(HARDSHIP)问卷和国际头痛疾病分类(ICHD-III)诊断头痛障碍。
共评估了 4832 名学生(平均年龄 10.3±3.1 岁)、798 名 BJHS 患儿和 912 名健康儿童。7-11 岁有活动过度的儿童发生头痛的概率比 12-16 岁有活动过度的儿童低 3.7 倍(P=0.001)。BJHS 患儿头痛的发生率高于对照组(P=0.001),BJHS 患儿头痛的发生率比健康儿童高 3.7 倍(P=0.001)。偏头痛是报告的所有病例中最常见的头痛类型。BJHS 患儿偏头痛的概率比健康儿童高 4.5 倍(P=0.001)。
本研究表明 BJHS 与儿童和青少年头痛(尤其是偏头痛)之间存在显著相关性。
