  • Title: Posttraumatic headaches in civilians, soldiers, and athletes.
    Author: Evans RW.
    Journal: Neurol Clin; 2014 May; 32(2):283-303. PubMed ID: 24703532.
    Abstract:
    Posttraumatic headaches are one of the most common and controversial secondary headache types. After mild head injury, more than 50% of people develop a postconcussion syndrome which has been controversial for more than 150 years. Headache is estimated as present in 30% to 90% of patients after mild head injury. Most headaches are of the tension type, although migraines can increase in frequency or occur acutely or chronically de novo. A review is provided of headaches in civilians, soldiers after blast trauma, athletes, and post-craniotomy including pathogenesis. The treatments are the same as for the primary phenotypes.
