Özet:

 

Background/aim: We aimed to investigate Internet addiction in pediatric patients with migraine- and tension-type headache in this study. Materials and methods: Among our 200 subjects, 103 had migraine-type headache and 97 had tension-type headache. Results: Headache triggered by computer use was more common in the migraine-type headache group. There was no difference between the Internet addiction scale score of the two groups. The Internet addiction scale scores of the patients were found to differ depending on the aim and duration of computer use. Internet addiction was found in six (6%) patients. Internet addiction prevalence was 3.7% and 8.5% in the two groups, respectively. Conclusion:  The  prevalence  of  Internet  addiction  in  children  with  recurrent  headache  was  lower  than  that  found  in  their  peers  in  Turkey,  possibly  due  to  avoidance  of  computer  use  as  a  headache  trigger.  This  finding  raises  the  question  of  whether  migraine-  or  tension-type headaches actually prevent Internet addiction.
