Zusammenfassung

In Deutschland gehören Kopfschmerzen zu den Erkrankungen, die am häufigsten zu gesundheitlichen Einschränkungen und zum Arztbesuch führen. Auch bei Kindern sind Kopfschmerzen häufig mit Alltagseinschränkungen verbunden. Trotzdem steht der Versorgungsgrad für Kopfschmerzerkrankungen in keinem Verhältnis zum medizinischen Bedarf. Auch deshalb werden von Patienten regelmäßig komplementäre und unterstützende Therapieverfahren genutzt. Die vorliegende Übersicht zeigt für primäre Kopfschmerzen im Kindes- und Erwachsenenalter aktuell genutzte Verfahren, deren methodischen Ansatz und vorhandene wissenschaftliche Evidenz. Auch wird die Sicherheit der Therapiemöglichkeiten eingeordnet. Zu den Verfahren zählen Physiotherapie, Neuraltherapie, Akupunktur, Homöopathie, Phytotherapie und die Einnahme von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln. Für Kinder und Jugendliche mit Kopfschmerzen gibt es im Bereich der Nahrungsergänzungsmittel für Coenzym Q10, Riboflavin, Magnesium und Vitamin D Untersuchungen, die auf spezifische Effekte in der Kopfschmerzreduktion hinweisen.

Abstract

In Germany, headache is one of the illnesses that most frequently leads to health impairments and to consultation with physicians. Even in children, headache is often associated with restricted activities of daily life. Nevertheless, the level of care for headache disorders is disproportionate to the medical needs. As a result, patients regularly use complementary and supportive therapeutic procedures. This review shows the procedures currently used for primary headache in childhood and adulthood, the methodological approaches and existing scientific evidence. The safety of the therapeutic options is also classified. These methods include physiotherapy, neural therapy, acupuncture, homeopathy, phytotherapy and the intake of dietary supplements. For children and adolescents with headaches, there are studies in the field of dietary supplements for coenzyme Q10, riboflavin, magnesium and vitamin D, which indicate specific effects in the reduction of headaches.
