TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Posttraumatic headaches in civilians, soldiers, and athletes JO - Neurologic clinics A1 - Evans, Randolph W. SP - 283 EP - 303 VL - 32 IS - 2 N2 - 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.
