Headaches are a common and often debilitating condition among youth. The Inflammatory Burden Index (IBI), a simple surrogate marker of systemic inflammation, has been linked to various diseases. However, evidence for its relationship with headaches, particularly in youth, is lacking. This study aimed to investigate the association between IBI and persistent headache in youth, with a focus on evaluating gender-specific responses to IBI exposure.
