Frequency of Primary Neck Pain in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury/Concussion Patients
"A sizable percentage of patients who present to level I trauma center EDs with mTBI report neck pain, which is commonly rated as similar to or worse than other mTBI-related symptoms. Primary neck pain is more common after motor vehicle collisions than with other mechanisms of injury. These findings support consensus statements identifying cervical injury as an important potential concurrent diagnosis in patients with mTBI."
