  1. HADS Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, MoCA Montreal Cognitive Assessment, PSQ-I Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index
  2. a Headache intensity was measured on an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS, 0 being no headache, 10 being the worst imaginable headache)
  3. b Disease duration was recorded as the number of months since mild traumatic brain injury
