Background: Posttraumatic headache (PTH) is a common and debilitating symptom following repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI), and it mainly resembles a migraine-like phenotype. While modulation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is effective in treating TBI and various types of pain including migraine, the role of augmentation of endocannabinoids in treating PTH has not been investigated.
Methods: Repetitive mild TBI was induced in male C57BL/6J mice using the non-invasive close-head impact model of engineered rotational acceleration (CHIMERA).

Aim of the present study was to conduct a comprehensive review of surgical strategies that can be offered to patients with trigeminal neuralgia undergoing microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery and without intraoperative evidence of neurovascular conflict, with a high pre-operative suspicion of conflict lacking intraoperative confirmation, or individuals experiencing recurrence after previous treatment. This systematic review followed established guidelines (PRISMA) to identify and critically appraise relevant studies. The review question was formulated according to the PICO (P: patients; I: intervention; C: comparison; O: outcomes) framework as follows.
