13,120 Citations1974Graham M. Teasdale, Bryan Jennett
A clinical scale has been evolved for assessing the depth and duration of impaired consciousness and coma that facilitates consultations between general and special units in cases of recent brain damage, and is useful also in defining the duration of prolonged coma.
PainThe McGill Pain Questionnaire: Major properties and scoring methods
6,816 Citations1975Ronald Melzack
The data indicate that the McGill Pain Questionnaire provides quantitative information that can be treated statistically, and is sufficiently sensitive to detect differences among different methods to relieve pain.

The authors studied 538 patients who had sustained minor head trauma, which was defined as a history of unconsciousness of 20 minutes or less, a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13 to 15, and hospitalization not exceeding 48 hours.

375 Citations1979W.H. Rutherford, J. D. Merrett +1 more
Of 131 patients with mild concussion, 19 (14.5%) still had symptoms after 1 year, and eight of these patients were involved in law suits and 6 had been suspected of malingering 6 weeks after their accident.

PubMedTraumatic brain injury and chronic pain: differential types and rates by head injury severity.
156 Citations1993Jay M. Uomoto, Peter C. Esselman
The results underscore the high frequency of chronic pain problems in the mild head injury population and implicate the need for avoiding the mislabeling of symptoms such attentional deficits or psychological distress as attributable only to head injury sequelae in those with coexisting chronic pain.

122 Citations1992Nicolaas I. Bohnen, J. Jolles
It is argued that the vague and aspecific nature of the postconcussion syndrome may have given rise to the controversy over this entity, but the many methodological inconsistencies in the experimental approaches to the syndrome have certainly enhanced the confusion about this issue.

Results indicated that patients reported only marginal improvement after the pain management program, and the need to investigate the interaction between patients' mood and autobiographical memory.
Brain InjuryPolytrauma associated with traumatic brain injury: Incidence, nature and impact on rehabilitation outcome
91 Citations1990Zeev Groswasser, M Cohen +1 more
The rehabilitation outcome of patients with severe traumatic brain injury is well documented and is highly correlated to the neurobehavioural sequelae of CNS damage, but many of these patients suffer from polytrauma involving systems other than the CNS and to systems involved in acquisition of external information.

A cluster characterized by comparatively higher use of self-controlling and positive reappraisal CS and lower external LOC was associated with significantly lower mood disturbance and physical difficulties and a trend to be less depressed.

50 Citations1992Harris Gellman, Mary Ann Keenan +4 more
Brain‐injured patients often display agitation, hyperalgesia, disuse or neglect of the RSD‐involved extremity, and these patients are often cognitively unable to vocalize complaints of pain.

It is found that formal examination of cognitive function is required to explore the potential of coexisting brain injury; if pain is a prominent clinical feature, residual cognitive sequelae of mild brain injury is easily masked.
