Abstract
Modern medicine is facing a serious problem — the consequences of cephalgic disorders, which, despite the relatively low mortality rate, significantly affect society. Patients suffering from regular migraine attacks and other types of headaches often find themselves unable to fully study and work, which significantly reduces their life potential. In the most difficult situations, hospitalization is the only way out. The inability of people with cephalgia to function effectively in everyday life creates large-scale economic and social problems for the whole society. This situation requires the health care system to develop comprehensive and effective solutions, as it affects many aspects of public life. The main objectives of the literature review are to determine the prevalence of migraine and tension headache among groups of students divided according to a number of criteria, to identify key factors predisposing to headache, as well as comorbid disorders, anamnesis features associated with its manifestations.
