    Objective: This study aimed to evaluate primary headache disorders and other causative comorbidities (e.g., epilepsy, atopic disorders, recurrent abdominal pain, motion sickness, and headache) in children with tic disorders (TDs) and their mothers. Materials and Methods: In a multi-center, cross-sectional, familial association study using case-control design, youth (between 7 and 17 years) with TDs (TD, as per Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 criteria) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls and their mothers were evaluated in the aspect of functional syndromes spectrum including migraine, epilepsy, atopic disorders, motion sickness, and recurrent abdominal pain. Results: Seventy-nine youth with TD and 101 controls were included. Causative comorbidities, other than epilepsy and motion sickness were more common in children with TD with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.1 (atopy) and 3.9 (food allergy). Specifically, recurrent abdominal pain and migraine were found in 36.7\% and 31.7\% of children (vs. 18.8\% and 16.8\% of controls, ORs 2.5 and 2.3, respectively). Mothers of youth with TDs also have higher rates of atopy, drug allergy and allergic dermatitis (ORs

    Reliability and Validity of Turkish Version of Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) in Patients with Migraine

    Introduction: The Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) is a self-report questionnaire designed to evaluate the impact of headache on quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess reliability and validity of Turkish version of HIT-6 questionnaire in patients with migraine. Methods: A total of 114 patients with migraine were included in this multicenter, prospective, descriptive study conducted at two consecutive visits 4 weeks apart. Comprehensibility, patient-physician reliability, internal consistency, test-retest reliability and validity of the translated HIT-6 were analyzed. Results: Patients identified that HIT-6 items were ``well-understood{''} in both visit 1 (ranged from 88.6\% to 95.7\%) and visit 2 (ranged from 93.0\% to 98.2\%). A highly positive correlation (R=0.876, p<0.001) was noted between visit 1 scores related to self-administered and physician-administered HIT-6 scores. Internal consistency analyzed via Cronbachs alpha values for visit 1 and visit 2 HIT-6 scores in all patients were 0.753 (acceptable) and 0.864 (excellent), respectively. HIT-6 scores of patients (64.13 (6.20) and 62.70 (7.04), at visits 1 and 2, respectively, p=0.07) showed a moderate test-retest reliability (R=0.437, p=0.0004). The HIT-6 score positively correlated with visit 1 and visit 2 headache severity-Likert scale (R=0.451 and 0.478, respectively, p<0.001) and VAS (R=0.365 and 0.531, respectively p<0.001) scores, and with visit 2 headache days for a month (R=0.215, p=0.022). Conclusion: These results demonstrated that the Turkish translation is equivalent to English version of HIT-6 in terms of internal consistency and it has moderate test-retest reliability and validity as correlated with headache severity, VAS and headache days for a month.
