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.
