OBJECTIVES: Pain is still a neglected problem in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). In this cross-sectional study, we examined the frequency of musculoskeletal pain in a sample of adult patients with persistent cognitive symptoms after mTBI and whether pain level affected cognition.
METHODS: The participants were 23 adult patients aged 18-50 referred to brain injury rehabilitation clinics for neuropsychological assessment after having sustained an mTBI. A non-injured control group (n = 29) was recruited through advertisements. The patients were, on average, assessed 22 months after trauma. All participants completed a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery and completed the Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire, The Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.
RESULTS: Patients reported high levels of current pain and significantly more frequent neck and shoulder pain than the non-injured controls. Patients also reported high post-concussive symptoms and anxiety levels and performed less well on several neuropsychological tests. Pain level was associated with slower processing speed among the controls but not related to performance in the mTBI group.
CONCLUSION: We conclude that musculoskeletal pain is frequent in mTBI patients referred to rehabilitation settings. Furthermore, the results indicate that the interaction between pain and cognitive functioning differs in mTBI compared to controls. Our results implicate that pain screening should be an integrated part of neuropsychological rehabilitation after mTBI to identify conditions that run the risk of becoming chronic. The study was approved by the Regional Ethical Board in Stockholm, Sweden (04-415/2).
