Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) poses risk to the neurocognitive, emotional, and financial well-being of affected individuals. While aggression and impulsivity have been examined in relation to mTBI, little work has been done to evaluate the relationship between history of mTBI and personality disorder (PD). The authors examined the associations between history of mTBI and PD in a control group without history of mTBI (N = 1189) and individuals with history of mTBI (N = 267). Results demonstrated that any PD diagnosis is a significant risk factor for mTBI (p < 0.001). Cluster B diagnoses, particularly borderline and antisocial PD, were independently significant risk factors for mTBI. These data suggest a role for screening for a history of mTBI in patients with PDs and associated traits.

Sleep-wake disturbances frequently present in Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). These TBI-related sleep impairments confer significant burden and commonly exacerbate other functional impairments. Therapies to improve sleep following mTBI are limited and studies in Veterans are even more scarce.

Primary Objectives: Annually, millions of Americans sustain mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), and some may experience neurobehavioral symptoms (NBS), like slow processing speed that persist chronically or longer than 6 months post injury. In turn, cognitive processes like language comprehension may be compromised. This study investigates the relationship between NBS and language comprehension in individuals with mTBI history and low or high NBS.

Introduction: Headache is the most overwhelmingly reported symptom following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The upper cervical spine has been implicated in headache etiology, and cervical dysfunction may result in neck pain that influences the experience of headache.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates how non-neurological factors, specifically the "expectation as etiology" or "good old days" bias (EE/GOD bias), may explain ongoing symptoms after a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), highlighting their relationship with psychological factors like illness perception and intolerance of uncertainty.
  • - Participants with and without a history of MTBI reported their current and past symptoms, revealing that those with MTBI rated their current symptoms as more severe and chronic, correlating with a higher EE/GOD bias.
  • - The findings indicate that the EE/GOD bias is linked to various psychological processes, suggesting that understanding these factors could enhance our comprehension of persistent post-concussive symptoms and emphasize the need for further research in clinical
