Area of Science:

Neurology
Trauma Care

Background:

Posttraumatic headache (PTHA) is a common consequence of head trauma, affecting a significant portion of patients with traumatic brain injury.
PTHA can be persistent, with a substantial percentage of individuals experiencing chronic headaches for years post-injury.

Purpose of the Study:

To define PTHA and discuss its prevalence and long-term impact.
To identify factors influencing PTHA prognosis and management.

Main Methods:

Literature review on PTHA incidence, persistence, and influencing factors.
Analysis of diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches for PTHA.

Main Results:

PTHA incidence ranges from 30% to 90% in TBI patients.
Approximately 20% of PTHAs persist at 1 year, and 25% at 4 years.
Prognosis is influenced by return-to-play, injury biomechanics, coping resources, medication overuse, and mental health.

Conclusions:

PTHA requires careful evaluation, including assessment for postconcussion syndrome and pre-existing conditions.
Pharmacotherapy should mirror the patient's primary headache disorder, with management tailored to individual symptoms and comorbidities.
