000119855 5203_ $$aBackground: Headache is the most frequent neurological symptoms in children. The relationship between craniocervical muscles and headache has been studied in adults, however, studies in children are limited.
Objectives: The present study aimed to examine and compare the presence of active and latent myofascial triggers points in head, neck, and shoulder muscles and pain pressure thresholds in children with headache and healthy controls.
Methods: A comparative study with non experimental design was conducted. A total of 126 participants between 3 and 16-years-old were recruited. Subjects were divided into two groups: Children with headaches (who had suffered it in the last three months) and children without a headache. Anthropometric data, presence and number of latent or active myofascial trigger points, and pressure pain threshold in craniocervical muscles were compared between both groups.
Results: A total of 19 symptomatic and 107 asymptomatic children were studied. The present study evidenced significant differences in the symptomatic group for the presence of both active and latent myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, suboccipital, and splenium muscles. No significant differences in the presence of myofascial trigger points in masseter and temporalis muscles were found. No statistically significant differences were found in algometry data between both groups.
Conclusion: Despite the fact that pressure pain threshold did not present any differences between both groups, children with headache presented a greater number of active or latent myofascial trigger points in craniocervical muscles.
