Purpose of Review

Post-traumatic headache (PTH) consequent to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a complex, multidimensional, chronic neurological disorder. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current neuroimaging studies on mTBI and PTH with a specific focus on brain networks and connectivity patterns.

Recent Findings

We present findings on PTH incidence and prevalence, as well as the latest neuroimaging research findings on mTBI and PTH. Additionally, we propose a new strategy in studying PTH following mTBI.

Summary

The diversity and heterogeneity of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying mild traumatic brain injury pose unique challenges on how we interpret neuroimaging findings in PTH. Evaluating alterations in the intrinsic brain network connectivity patterns using novel imaging and analytical techniques may provide additional insights into PTH disease state and therefore inform effective treatment strategies.

创伤后头痛和轻度创伤性脑损伤：脑网络和连通性

审查目的

轻度创伤性脑损伤 (mTBI) 引起的创伤后头痛 (PTH) 是一种复杂的、多维的、慢性神经系统疾病。本综述的目的是评估当前关于 mTBI 和 PTH 的神经影像学研究，特别关注大脑网络和连接模式。

最近的发现

我们展示了关于 PTH 发病率和流行率的研究结果，以及关于 mTBI 和 PTH 的最新神经影像学研究结果。此外，我们提出了一种研究 mTBI 后 PTH 的新策略。

概括

轻度创伤性脑损伤背后病理生理机制的多样性和异质性对我们如何解释 PTH 中的神经影像学发现提出了独特的挑战。使用新的成像和分析技术评估内在大脑网络连接模式的变化可能会提供对 PTH 疾病状态的额外见解，从而为有效的治疗策略提供信息。
