Spreading depolarization's in the network dysfunction leading to post-traumatic headache

The Department of the Army Medical Command awarded a $1.66 million Project Grant to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420). The three-year award will fund research into "Spreading Depolarizations' in the Network Dysfunction Leading to Post-Traumatic Headache." Through September 2021 to August 2024, the grantee will investigate medical solutions for post-traumatic headache on the battlefield and in the civilian population by exploring the role of spreading depolarizations in the neurological network dysfunction underlying the condition. A $250,000 sub-award was also provided to the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center Financial Services to support its contributions to the research effort. The funding aims to transform military and public health care by advancing innovative medical research as outlined under the program description.
