GAIN Symptoms: Post-traumatic Headache
Sponsor: University of Aarhus
Summary
The overall aim of the study is to advance the knowledge on the characterization and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of persistent post-traumatic headache (PTH) with a direct impact on the ability to diagnose and manage PTH effectively. The investigators also aim to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a novel intervention on PTH.

Interventions
Active repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
Five sessions of active rTMS therapy will be distributed over 2 weeks (20 Hz, 2000 pulses, 90% resting motor threshold) will be delivered to left dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex (DLPFC) around 6 months post-trauma.
Sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
Five sessions of sham rTMS therapy will be distributed over 2 weeks
