Abstract
Methods using measuring alpha activity in the brain are provided for the detection and/or diagnosis of a mild traumatic brain injury in a subject. The methods comprise measuring an alpha activity in the brain of a subject, wherein an increase in the alpha activity in the brain of the subject compared to control subjects without a brain injury or to a baseline of the subject is indicative of the subject having the mild traumatic brain injury. The alpha activity may be measured when the subject is in a resting state. The methods may further comprise administering a therapy such as a pain or headache medication to the subject with a mild traumatic brain injury.
