Popis: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common source of injury that can result in a multitude of nociceptive and neuropathic pain syndromes. Impairments in cognition and communication complicate diagnosis and treatment, and a multidisciplinary approach is recommended to patient care. Treatment paradigms generally follow the specific causal etiologies, but span a wide variety of pharmacologic, physical, psychological, interventional, and surgical treatments. A combination is often required for adequate analgesia and improvement in functional outcomes.
