“…We also identified a number of studies reporting on the prevalence of pain and headache among TBI patients [33–51]. Headache was the most common pain complaint among TBI patients in one prospective cohort and several cross‐sectional studies.…”

Objective To review the literature addressing the assessment and management of pain in patients with polytraumatic injuries including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and blast-related headache, and to identify patient, clinician and systems factors associated with pain-related outcomes. Design Systematic review. Methods We conducted searches in MEDLINE of literature published from 1950 through July 2008. Due to a limited number of studies using controls or comparators, we included observational and rigorous qualitative studies. We systematically rated the quality of systematic reviews, cohort, and case-control design studies. Results One systematic review, 93 observational studies, and one qualitative research study met inclusion criteria. The literature search yielded no published studies that assessed measures of pain intensity or pain-related functional interference among patients with cognitive deficits due to TBI, that compared patients with blast-related headache with patients with other types of headache, or that assessed treatments for blast-related headache pain. Studies on the association between TBI severity and pain reported mixed findings. There was limited evidence that the following factors are associated with pain among TBI patients: severity, location, and multiplicity of injuries; insomnia; fatigue; depression; and post-traumatic stress disorder. Conclusions Very little evidence is currently available to guide pain assessment and treatment approaches in patients with polytrauma. Further research employing systematic observational as well as controlled intervention designs is clearly indicated.

“…Prior studies have shown that chronic pain is a potential complication of TBI . Prior studies have shown that patients with TBI have a high prevalence of chronic pain syndromes such as headache [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], shoulder pain [32], heterotopic ossification [33], complex regional pain syndrome [34], and peripheral nerve injuries [35]. The association of TBI with chronic pain was first described in 1915 in troops returning from World War I with "shell shock" [44].…”

Introduction: Chronic pain is an under-diagnosed consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in subjects aged ≤16. The objective of this study was to determine its prevalence. Methods: The Ovid/Medline database was searched for articles published between 1951 and February 2008 using any combination of the terms brain injury, pain, headache, blast injury, and combat. The PubMed, MD Consult, Cochrane Collaboration, National Institutes of Health Clinical Trials Database, Meta-Register of Current Controlled Trials, and CRISP databases were searched using the keyword brain injury. 1110 articles were identified for evaluation. 258 articles were reviewed and 26 met the inclusion criteria for calculating the prevalence of chronic pain after TBI. Three cross-sectional studies met the inclusion criteria for calculating this prevalence in the population aged ≤16. Results: Twenty-six studies (18 cross-sectional, 5 prospective, and 3 retrospective) including 4468 patients with TBIs were identified. Fifteen studies assessed headache (HA) pain in 1932 patients. Of these, 1081 complained of chronic HA, yielding a prevalence of 56.0% (95%CI, 53.9% - 58.2%). Three studies furnished data on 262 patients with TBI and age ≤16. One-hundred-fifteen of these subjects experienced chronic HA suggesting prevalence of 43.9% (95%CI, 37.9% - 49.9%) in this population. We found evidence to suggest that there is an association between TBI and the development of chronic HA pain. Conclusions: Chronic pain from headache is a common complication of TBI and is common even among children with apparently minor injuries to the brain. The evidence suggests that this condition is independent of psychiatric disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression

“…Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is an umbrella term that is commonly used in reference to any subjective complaint of shoulder pain in a hemiparetic upper limb (1). It is a significant problem after acquired brain injury with a reported prevalence of 22-47% in stroke (2) and 62% in traumatic brain injury (3). Resolution rates are generally lowjust 14% to 27% of cases in stroke (1,4).…”
