Our data support the notion of a dose-response relationship between TBI severity and headache outcomes. A history of multiple mild TBIs and longer duration of AOC and PTA are unique risk factors for poor headache outcomes in veterans. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the poor headache outcomes associated with subconcussive exposure. Past TBI characteristics should be considered when developing headache management plans for veterans.
