This study suggests that "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for DSM-5" and "Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale" are the most sensitive psychological measures to early microstructural changes after mTBI, and that the DTI metrics are predictive of pain and psychological measures in mTBI. Together, these results suggest that white matter microstructure plays an important role in the PTH following mTBI.
