Abstract

Headaches form an essential part of the syndrome after concussion of the brain. The origin of these may be extracranial (neuralgias in scar tissue and hematomas, neuralgiform headache as a result of injury to the cervical spine) as well as diffuse in the sense of vasomotr cephalalgia which are due to central regulation disorders of the circulation caused by psychogenic mechanisms and compensatory neurosis. Methods of therapy include the use of vasoactive substances especially for vasomotor cephalalgia, immobilisation and local anesthesia in neuralgias, and psychopharmocological as well as psychotherapeutic aid in psychogenic complaints.
