The article is devoted to the actual problem of modern medicine – the analysis of the association of recurrent headaches with the problematic use of smartphones in young people. A review of data on the prevalence of smartphone-dependent behavior in various age-gender and ethnic groups, various countries and regions was carried out. The etiopathogenetic aspects of this phenomenon, clinical manifestations, impact on the somatic and mental health of smartphone users are highlighted, the most common disorders of various organs and systems are described. The results of our own study are included, which showed a high incidence of episodic and frequent headaches in people with mobile phone addicted behavior, a significant association of smartphone addiction with manifestations of asthenia, episodes of dizziness, pain in the spine, as well as interpersonal communication problems - with parents, teachers and classmates. The need for further scientific research is emphasized to develop effective methods for correcting and preventing the development of dependence on smartphones and associated health disorders in the younger generation.
