The American Headache Society (AHS) has published a white paper providing guidance on the treatment of posttraumatic headache in youth caused by concussion. The paper covers risk factors for prolonged recovery and offers pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management strategies, emphasizing multidisciplinary care. The white paper aims to fill a gap in knowledge and provide evidence-based recommendations for managing posttraumatic headache in youth. Experts believe that this guidance is important for healthcare providers who may be less familiar with this condition and that it sheds light on a common issue in the youth population. The paper also highlights the importance of early identification of high-risk individuals and the initiation of personalized management plans. [Extracted from the article]
