Statistical data on the quality of life of adolescents with headaches is unknown in Georgia. The aim of the study is to assess the burden of primary headaches in adolescents. Participants were selected from nine schools in cities and villages, taking into account socio-demographics. The number of participants is 1379 students. The indicators of quality of life caused by headache were assessed. Headaches were more frequent in girls than in boys. This data was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Headaches in adolescents worsen the quality of life, especially in girls.
