According to ICD-10 diagnostic criteria, the cohort was divided into four subgroups: neurotic disorders (ND; n = 42), neurosis-like disorders\n(NSD; n = 46), emotional and behavioural disorders (EBD; n = 45), and developmental disorders of school skills (DSS; n = 35). Clinical complaints including\nheadache, anxiety, sleep disturbances, learning difficulties, behavioural dysregulation, and interpersonal conflicts were analysed. The associations between\nbinary variables were assessed using the phi (.) coefficien\nResults: Headache was reported by 41% of children with ND, 60% with NSD, 36% with EBD, and 29% with DSS. In ND and NSD, headache was combined with\nanxiety, sleep problems, and cognitive deficits, whereas in EBD and DSS, it was more closely associated with interpersonal conflicts and school maladaptation. We\nrevealed moderate-to-relatively strong associations between headache and conflicts with parents (. = 0,28\u20130,48), as well as with teachers (. = 0,33\u20130,46),\nindicating that headache may reflect relational distress.\nConclusions: Headache in children with NPMD serves as a clinically relevant psychosomatic marker that integrates biological, emotional, and social dimensions\nof maladaptation. Recognition of headache as an indicator of psychological suffering highlights the importance of integrative, family-centred, and ethically\nsensitive approaches to diagnosis and treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.36740\/wlek\/214771","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T15:26:17Z","timestamp":1767885977000},"page":"2245-2250","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Headache as a marker of psychological and somatic distress in children with non-psychotic mental disorders"],"prefix":"10.36740","author":[{"given":"Oksana O.","family":"Drevitska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lidiia V.","family":"Butska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Svitlana M.","family":"Makarenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Igor  V.","family":"Kuznetsov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"22436","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,30]]},"container-title":["Wiadomo\u015bci Lekarskie"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wiadomoscilekarskie.pl\/pdf-214771-133861","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wiadomoscilekarskie.pl\/pdf-214771-133861","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T15:26:18Z","timestamp":1767885978000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wiadomoscilekarskie.pl\/Headache-as-a-marker-of-psychological-and-somatic-distress-in-children-with-non-psychotic,214771,0,2.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025]]}},"alternative-id":["214771"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.36740\/wlek\/214771","relation":{},"ISSN":["0043-5147","2719-342X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0043-5147","type":"print"},{"value":"2719-342X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,30]]}}}
