Post-Traumatic Headache

Post-Traumatic Headache is a type of headache that develops after a person experiences a head injury or concussion. It often resembles tension headaches, with symptoms like throbbing or pressing pain, and can last for weeks or longer. The cause involves changes in brain function and increased sensitivity in pain pathways following the injury. Management typically includes rest, pain relief medications, and gradual return to activities, often with guidance from healthcare providers. While common after head trauma, proper diagnosis and treatment are important to help reduce discomfort and aid recovery.
