Default "Headaches Are Common in Year Following Traumatic Brain Injury"

Interesting article: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0818130202.htm

In other news, banging part of your body on something can MAKE! IT! HURT!

Didja know??

Seriously, I'm curious how long the study followed subjects and if the headaches magically disappeared after a year?

I think the most interesting line was the last:

Females and persons with a pre-injury history of headache were significantly more likely to report headache,

but there was no statistical link between incidence of post-injury headache and the severity of the TBI.
