Abstract

Somatization is thought to underlie functional somatic syndromes (FSSs) and may also contribute to prolonged symptoms after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The investigators evaluated the prevalence of FSSs in patients seeking specialty care after mTBI and whether a history of FSSs was associated with symptom persistence. A total of 142 patients with mTBI completed questionnaires regarding demographic information, injury characteristics, and medical history, including history of diagnosed FSSs at clinic intake (mean=41 days postinjury [SD=22.41]). Postconcussion symptoms were assessed at clinic intake and again 1 and 3 months later. A linear mixed-effects model was used to determine whether history of FSSs was related to persistent mTBI symptoms over time. A history of at least one FSS was reported by 20.4% of patients. In the linear mixed model, postconcussion symptom scores were not significantly different over time among patients with a history of one or more FSSs or two or more FSSs from those with no FSSs. A history of one or more FSSs or two or more FSSs (versus no FSS) was not associated with increased odds of severe postconcussion symptoms at clinic intake (one or more FSSs: odds ratio=0.88, 95% CI=0.38-2.03; two or...Continue Reading
