A new study has showed that end of summer brings a real headache for many students. In the fall, researchers noticed a jump of more than 31% in headache cases among children.

The study was conducted over a period of five years by Nationwide Children's Hospital. Adria Houghtby, high school student, said she was stressed out because of a lot of homework to do and prepare for a lot of tests.

Mary Houghtby, mother, said school triggers headaches in Adria more often until she gets back into her routine.

Doctors advise parents to make sure that their children are eating three meals a day, getting enough sleep and adopting some strategies to relieve stress.

The study has clearly showed that the fall puts academic stress on children, leading to headaches. When children head back to school they have to change their lifestyle, like bedtime routines, which researchers believe play a role in increasing stress among children.

“Stress is really a significant player with children's and teen's headaches -- parents report that all the time, we see that all the time. And school is the biggest stressor”, said the lead researcher, Dr. Ann Pakalnis, a neurologist and director of Comprehensive Headache Clinic at Nationwide Children's.

For the study, researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, looked into 1,300 visits to the hospital’s emergency department from 2010 to 2014. The results showed that there was not a big change in the number of visits for headaches for most of the year, except fall when the visits saw upsurge of 31%.
