  • 摘要:Objectives

    The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the incidence and characteristics of posttraumatic headache attributed to mild brain injury in military personnel in Iran within a prospective and observational study design.

    Methods

    A prospective observational descriptive study was conducted with a cohort of military personnel under military education during a 6-month period at the Military Education Center in Isfahan, Iran. 322 military personnel under education were selected randomly and were given a 13-item mild brain injury questionnaire accompanied with affective disorders and headache questionnaires and were reevaluated after a 3-month interval.

    Results

    A total of 30 (9.3 %) of the 322 military personnel met criteria for a mild brain injury. Among them, 18 personnel (60 %) reported having headaches during the 3-month reevaluation. PTHs defined as headaches beginning within 1 week after a head trauma were present in 5.6 % of military personnel under study during 6 months. In total, 67 % of posttraumatic headaches (PTH) were classified as migrainous or possible migrainous features. Patients with affective disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder and depression were at a higher risk for developing PTH following mild brain injury (p < 0.05). PTH did not relate to demographic factors such as age or type of trauma.

    Conclusions

    Posttraumatic headache attributed to mild brain injury is a common disorder in military personnel. Migrainous features are predominant among them in comparison with the general population. PTH is not related to a type of trauma, but has association with affective disorders.
