1. Post-traumatic Headache Overview
Post-traumatic headaches are the most common symptom after a concussion. This chapter discusses some of the common types of post-traumatic headache—including medication-overuse, cervicogenic, cognitive, psychiatric, and ocular—along with ways to identify them.

Post-traumatic migraine is the most common cause of post-traumatic headache. Post-traumatic migraine is correlated with higher symptom burden and longer recovery after a concussion and requires different management than other headache types. This chapter reviews migraine in detail, along with ways to identify and treat.
3. Psychiatric Influences on Concussion
