Characteristics of post‐traumatic headaches in children following mild traumatic brain injury and their response to treatment: a prospective cohort

Abstract

This is the first prospective cohort study to describe the clinical characteristics of PTHs following mTBI in children. Migraine was the most common headache type seen; other headaches included tension-type, cervicogenic, and occipital neuralgias, and 64% responded to treatment. Referral to a headache specialist should be considered, especially when the features are not typical of one of the primary headache disorders.
