TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Motor vehicle accidents, headaches and post-traumatic stress disorder: Assessment findings in a consecutive series JO - Headache A1 - Hickling, E. J. A1 - Blanchard, E. B.

SP - 147 EP - 151 VL - 32 IS - 3 N2 - Results of 20 consecutive cases referred for post-traumatic headache (PT-HA) to a psychological practice were assessed for both psychiatric and neurological diagnoses. Nineteen of the 20 cases (95%) had a diagnosable psychiatric disorder, with 15 presenting with a post-traumatic stress disorder. Prior headache history was reported for only 25% of the referred patients, while a prior psychiatric disorder was found for 7 (35%) of the cases. Findings suggest that consideration of a psychiatric disorder should be made for PT-HA patients.
