Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Headache is the most frequent symptom after traumatic brain injury, affecting over 90% of athletes with sports-related concussion.
  • Post-traumatic headache (PTH) following concussion is often overlooked or inadequately managed by clinicians.
  • The complex nature of PTH presents challenges in return-to-play decisions for athletes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the prevalence and challenges of managing post-traumatic headache in athletes.
  • To underscore the need for improved clinical understanding and treatment strategies for PTH in sports-related concussion.
  • To identify gaps in medical literature regarding PTH management in concussed athletes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on post-traumatic headache in sports-related concussion.
  • Analysis of current diagnostic and treatment approaches for PTH.
  • Examination of challenges in return-to-play decision-making for athletes with PTH.

Main Results:

  • Headache is a near-universal symptom post-concussion, yet frequently dismissed.
  • Inadequate clinical expertise in headache management contributes to athlete undertreatment.
  • Existing literature on managing PTH in concussed athletes is limited.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical need for enhanced clinical education on PTH management in sports.
  • Prospective studies investigating current and novel treatments for PTH are essential.
  • Improved understanding and management of PTH are crucial for safe athlete return to play.
