Abstract:Background
The purpose of this study was to interrogate brain iron accumulation in participants with acute post-traumatic headache (PTH) due to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and to determine if functional connectivity is affected in areas with iron accumulation. We aimed to examine the correlations between iron accumulation and headache frequency, post-concussion symptom severity, number of mTBIs and time since most recent TBI.
Methods
Sixty participants with acute PTH and 60 age-matched healthy controls… Show more
