PY - 2023 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment Pediatric Neurology AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common injuries in the pediatric age group. It is estimated that as many as half a million children younger than 15 years sustain TBIs that require hospital-based care in the United States each year, with the majority of these injuries being mild in severity.1 A national cross-sectional study in the United States estimated that 1 of every 220 pediatric patients seen in emergency departments receive a diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).2 Headaches are the most common symptom after mTBI or concussion and often occur with a constellation of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral signs and symptoms. Headaches may affect a child’s ability to function and participate in school and extracurricular activities, which can cause disability and impair their quality of life.3 SN - PB - McGraw Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - neurology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1195237814 ER -
