Systematic review on post traumatic headache interventions

In collaboration with TBI Model Systems researchers, we conducted a systematic review on interventions for post-traumatic headaches. The goals on this review were to identify effective interventions for post-traumatic headache, develop recommendations for treatment, identify gaps in research on treatment, and suggests future research needed to improve outcomes for persons with post traumatic headaches.

This review will be published later this year in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Journal. To read the abstract go to: http://msktc.washington.edu/tbi/sysreviews/publications/TBI_Headache.asp
