Each year, traumatic brain injuries result in over 1.3 million visits to an emergency room. A TBI can be caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. Over 75% of these visits are a result of a concussion and the most common side effect? Headaches.

Headaches are the most common symptom after a TBI and long after the injury, the headaches can continue, lasting even past a year.

Since 2000, there have been over 200,000 diagnoses for TBI in all branches of the Armed Forces.

“Migraine pain is usually the result of enlarged blood vessels pressing on the surrounding nerves. When you expose this area to cold, it causes the vessels to constrict which reduces the pressure on the nerves and in turn lessens the pain.”

“Simultaneous pressure, heat and cold help relieve headache and reduce headache duration.” – Stephen H. Landy, MD, Wesley Headache Clinic.
