Summary

The relationship between obesity and the development of chronic headache after traumatic brain injury will be investigated.

Detailed description

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be defined as an injury caused by an external force, particularly a direct blow to the head or exposure to a shock wave. In addition to the well-known consequences of TBI, including cognitive changes, motor deficits and sensory abnormalities, available evidence suggests that acute and chronic pain is also common after TBI. Obesity and TBI can be considered as public health problems with their increasing prevalence in recent years. Chronic pain adds to the already enormous clinical, psychological, social and economic burden of obesity. Developing mechanisms to prevent the development of pain after TBI has attracted the attention of researchers. Obesity is a preventable and modifiable clinical condition. The extent to which obesity may create adverse conditions after TBI remains unclear.
