We found the phenomenology to be very heterogeneous, but the vast majority (77%) of patients presented with headache resembling chronic tension-type headache, either as the only manifestation or in combination with migraine symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OBJECTIVE: The current study used a cross-sectional observational design to evaluate the relationship between psychological, physiological, and contextual factors and headache severity among 133 deployed militarypersonnel and 4 civilian contractors diagnosed[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

PTSD has received growing attention because of its high prevalence in militarypersonnel returning from combat zones. Various manifestations of severe anxiety associated with psychologic trauma are the hallmarks of PTSD.[touchneurology.com]
There remains a significant need for multicenter, prospective, randomized trials on PTHA involving incidence, prevalence, prognosis, assessment and treatment in both civilian and militarypersonnel.[internationalbrain.org]
Testing included the measurement of heat-pain (HPT) and pressure-pain (PPT) thresholds in the forehead and forearm, pain adaptation to tonic noxious heat, and conditioned pain modulation (CPM).The participants completed a post-traumatic stress disorder[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
BACKGROUND: No evidence is available on the risks of neurologically asymptomatic minimal traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (mTIH) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) for post-traumatic headache (PTH).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

“Location and distribution of pain, a positive Tinel’ssign over the occipital nerve, and resolution after occipital nerve block provide historical clues, diagnostic [confirmation], and therapeutic benefits,” Dr Williams advised.[neurologyadvisor.com]
In addition to chronic headache, the following symptoms are also associated with a closed head injury: Personality change Impaired memory Impaired concentration Reduced attention span Easy distractibility Fatigue Dizziness or lightheadedness Irritability[neurohealth.info]
Migraine-like headache was the most common presentation followed by tension-type headache. Other children had either mixed or unclassified headache disorders. KEYWORDS: children; post-traumatic headache; postconcussion syndrome[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The cranial mechanical hyperalgesia may originate from peripheral tissue damage accompanying the THI. Psychological factors may contribute to the development, and maintenance of CPTHA in susceptible individuals.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An extensive workup was carried out under the direction of the patient's primary neurologist. Secondary to persistent intractable pain, the patient was referred to the pain clinic for further evaluation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Summary: Despite numerous advances in the awareness, pathophysiology, and diagnostic workup of concussion, mTBI, and PTH, there is a paucity of evidence-based guidance regarding treatment.[mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
CONCLUSIONS: No strong evidence from clinical trials is available to direct the treatment of PTHA. Some guidelines are offered for PTHA management based on primary headache categories and treatments.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The clinical features of PTH are those of primary headache disorders such as migraine and tension-type headache and usually follow a favorable prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.[icd10coded.com]
Chronic post-traumatic headache (PTH) is one of the most common complaints after mild traumatic brain injury, yet evidence to date is insufficient to direct conventional treatment of headaches with this etiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Her traumatic brain injury occurred after a fall with loss of consciousness of unclear etiology. The fall resulted in a depressed skull fracture and left frontal epidural hemorrhage. She was treated with a craniotomy and plate placement.[alliedmedtraining.com]
Problems with the diagnosis include issues related to classification, epidemiology, pathophysiology (psychogenic vs. organic) and treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This brief review highlights recent advances in the epidemiology, evaluation, and management of concussion, mTBI, and PTH.[mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
Contrary to the latter, there are instances when mild head injury without symptoms or signs of concussion may evoke the pathophysiological changes of migraine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
While there are few studies examining abortive medications for PTH, recent studies of preventive medications examine the efficacy of topiramate, and topiramate may be better than other oral preventive medications.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As a result, the most effective preventive and treatment options remain unclear, Naugle said.[archive.news.iupui.edu]
