Not to speak of headaches, which are the most
important feature associated with post-traumatic headaches. Although,
these headaches do reduce with time, yet they last up till at least
6-12 months.
At least two reasons have been
diagnosed to be the causes of these headaches:
• They could be
caused by repeated and sustained contraction of the muscles of the
neck and the scalp.
• They might occur due to the vascular
nature that these headaches might acquire, thus leading to a
pulsating kind of a headache.
Often, these might take the form
of a migraine attack. Emotional reactions are also a common feature
associated with patients of post-traumatic headache. The treatment
for these headaches involves the use of non-narcotic analgesics while
tranquilizers or antidepressants may be required for the emotional
reactions. Other methods of treatment that might be given a try
include physical and manipulative medicine.
