Head or neck injury increases the risk of chronic daily headache

Abstract

Results suggest that head and neck injury (HANI) accounts for approximately 15% of chronic daily headache (CDH) cases in this non-clinical population. The relationship between HANI and CDH was not limited to injuries proximate to CDH onset. The lifetime risk of CDH increases with increasing number of HANI.

Midlife migraine and late-life parkinsonism

“…Results are based on residents of Reykjavik, Iceland, and may not generalize to other populations. Finally, our assessment of TBI did not allow us to evaluate the role of multiple mild head injuries, which have been reported, separately, to be related to both chronic headaches 39 and later parkinsonism. 40 Our finding linking migraine with different indicators of parkinsonism suggests shared cerebral vulnerability that could reflect common pathology, genetic or environmental risk factors, or changes in the brain from one condition that increases the likelihood of symptoms reflecting the other conditions.…”

Tension-Type Headache: A Life-Course Review

“…Several studies demonstrate a relationship between neck or head injury and headache [68][69][70]. Findings from this work suggest that the relationship between injury and headache is not strongly related to the temporal proximity of the injury.…”

Cefaleia pós-traumática crônica: relato de caso

“…Cefaleia crônica resultante de trauma craniano tem sido amplamente estudada [3][4][5] . A relação causa e efeito entre a lesão e a cefaleia é baseado no aparecimento da dor em um período imediatamente após o evento.…”
