Children with thyroid disease are more likely to have headaches, according to a study done by Dr. David Rothner and his colleagues at the Cleveland Clinic. 36% of children with hypothyroidism and 19% with hyperthyroidism had headaches. The types of headaches observed included chronic migraine and new daily persistent headache. The authors conclude that thyroid testing should be part of a standard evaluation of headaches in children, just like it is in adults.
