Abstract:
Although post-traumatic headache (PTHA) is a common problem following trauma its' multidimensionality remains somewhat poorly understood.Often,clinicians and researchers try and make the problem of post-traumatic bead pain a straightforward one.One of the reasons that there is controversy of what would seem to be a simple condition on the surface is that clinicians tend to view PTHA over simplistically from both an assessment and treatment standpoint.Some have argued that PTHA is no different that non-traumatic headache in either etiology or treatment.There remain significant deficiencies in our understanding of PTHA as related to a lack of good epidemiological,treatment and prognostic literature.These limitations nust be acknowledged where applicable in the context of clinical neurorehabilitation care,as well as,in the forensic arena.This article will review the current understanding of PTHA as a complex,multidimensional post-traumatic phenomena examining incidence,etiology,assessment and management.
