A new study published in the journal Neurology suggests that people who experienced traumatic events in childhood, such as abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction, may be more likely to experience headache disorders as adults.
The study, a meta-analysis of 28 studies involving over 150,000 participants, found that people who had experienced one or more traumatic childhood events were 48% more likely to have headache disorders than those who had not experienced such events. The risk of headaches increased with the number of traumatic childhood events experienced.
