Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Traumatic Brain Injury Research

Background:

  • Post-traumatic headache (PT-HA) is a prevalent symptom following concussion and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
  • Effective management strategies for PT-HA remain an area of active investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review interventional procedures for post-traumatic headache.
  • To synthesize current literature on treatments for concussion-related headaches.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted an expert opinion and literature review of PubMed articles.
  • Keywords included: post-traumatic headache, concussion, mild traumatic brain injury, TBI, and specific treatments (neurostimulation, Botox, surgery).
  • Screened 181 articles, selecting 52 for analysis.

Main Results:

  • No randomized placebo-controlled studies were identified.
  • Most selected articles were case analyses, reviews, or consensus papers.
  • The majority of studies reported positive outcomes for interventional procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Interventional procedures show potential efficacy in treating post-traumatic headaches.
  • Further high-quality research, including randomized controlled trials, is needed to establish definitive evidence for PT-HA treatments.
