Detailed description of study

The purpose of this study is to teach us more about why some people often experience headaches after having a mild traumatic brain injury. We want to determine whether certain factors place individuals more at risk for experiencing headaches after a mild traumatic brain injury including pain sensitivity, how the body adapts to pain, levels of inflammation in our blood, and changes in brain structure and function.
Participants will be compensated for their participation.
