Follow-Up of Post-Traumatic Headache Patients: A Multicenter Prospective Study on Headache Phenotype and Impact after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
= 60) included patients with shorter headache duration following mTBI (<180 days), lower disability, and infrequent, shorter headache attacks. This study demonstrates that nearly one in four patients with mTBI experiences persistent PTH. Early indicators of persistence, particularly prolonged continuous headache and higher disability, may help identify high-risk individuals who warrant early aggressive, targeted interventions. Recognition of distinct PTH clusters reflects the heterogeneity of this frequent but under-investigated disorder with high burden and highlights the need for early and tailored management strategies.
