Area of Science:

Neurology
Trauma Medicine

Background:

Chronic posttraumatic headache is a common sequela of head injury.
It is frequently associated with the broader postconcussion/posttraumatic syndrome.
The underlying pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, involving multifactorial influences.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize the understanding of chronic posttraumatic headache.
To outline the typical clinical presentation and contributing factors.
To discuss treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

Literature review and synthesis of current knowledge on posttraumatic headache.
Analysis of pathophysiological mechanisms, including biological, psychological, and social aspects.
Review of clinical manifestations and therapeutic approaches.

Main Results:

Tension-type headache is the predominant form.
Migraine-like headache exacerbations are also frequently observed.
Biological, psychological, and social factors contribute to the condition's development and persistence.

Conclusions:

Chronic posttraumatic headache management is similar to primary headache disorders after ruling out structural lesions.
A comprehensive understanding of contributing factors is crucial for effective treatment.
Further research into pathophysiology may elucidate targeted therapeutic interventions.
