Diagnosis and Management of Post-traumatic Headache May 8, 2014; 1-2:30 p.m. (EDT) Headache is one of the most common persisting symptoms after traumatic brain injury (TBI) across all levels of injury severity. Recent research in both civilian and military sample populations has improved the understanding of the prevalence and pathogenesis of the problem after TBI. However, little research has yet to be conducted on treatments for post-traumatic headache. This webinar will review the current research on post-traumatic headache and how symptoms of headache can assist with diagnosis. Current recommendations for treatment of post-traumatic headache also will be described. At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to: Describe the incidence and prevalence of headache after TBI Relate the critical elements for the diagnosis of headache in individuals with TBI using the symptoms of headache for classification purposes Identify and employ current treatment approaches for headache after TBI Presenters Jeanne M.
