Around 10% of children have severe headaches after a concussion, yet our understanding of them is poor. This project will work with the complex concussion program at the Queensland Children’s Hospital and explore the pathophysiology of these headaches with the aim of developing new treatment paradigms, including the use of non-invasive brain stimulation.
