Abstract

In brief Many sports injuries involve head trauma and subsequent posttraumatic headache. Three types of posttraumatic headache occur: migraine, cluster, and tension-type. Each type may be acute or chronic. Diagnosis requires ruling out organic causes and neurologic abnormalities. Treatment includes abortive and prophylactic therapies.
