Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common injury in the U. S. Compared to the general population, military service members can be at increased risk for TBI because of the nature of their work. ⋯ Compared to service members without TBI, those who sustained a mild TBI were 3.99 times more likely to have a headache or migraine, and those with a moderate/severe TBI were 8.89 times more likely. Patients, medical providers, and military leaders can use these results to guide care after a TBI. Early identification of those at higher risk of these sequelae could improve medical management and reduce disability.
