简要总结
This case-control study will examine whether adolescents aged 12-18 years with a diagnosis of primary headache are more likely to experience elevated social anxiety compared to matched healthy controls. Social anxiety will be assessed using the SAS-A, and the study will also explore whether environmental and sociodemographic factors such as tobacco smoke exposure, BMI, and parental education influence this relationship.

The main exposure ofinterest will be the presence and severity of social anxiety, which will be measured using the Social AnxietyScale for Adolescents (SAS-A), a validated self-report questionnaire.

All assessments, includingquestionnaires and physical measurements (height and weight), are expected to be completed inapproximately 20 minutes per participant.
