Abstract
Purpose of review: To review the history and impact and burden of post-traumatic headache (PTH).
Recent findings: PTH is a prevalent headache disorder that many healthcare providers encounter. Unlike more extensively researched primary headache disorders like migraines, PTH has not been as thoroughly studied, and there are fewer treatments specifically tested for it. A significant obstacle to conducting detailed population studies on PTH is the need for the headache to occur shortly after a traumatic event. Despite these challenges, PTH is recognized as a disabling condition with considerable effects on quality of life and economic impact. PTH is a distressing and debilitating condition. Although there have been efforts to evaluate its personal and economic effects, these studies are limited compared to the more extensive research conducted on other primary headache disorders. More comprehensive epidemiological studies are needed.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and management of pain and headache. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care and prevention of pain and headache.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anesthetic techniques in pain management, cluster headache, neuropathic pain, and migraine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
