Multicenter Study Comparative StudyPresence of post-concussion syndrome symptoms in patients with chronic pain vs mild traumatic brain injury.
Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is a controversial diagnosis, in part because many symptoms may be present in other conditions, such as chronic pain (CP). However, direct comparisons between people with CP and mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) are limited. The purpose of this study was to compare people with CP and MTBI on a measure of PCS symptoms. ⋯ PCS symptoms are not unique to MTBI, and may be seen in conditions such as CP.
