Abstract Chronic posttraumatic headache (PTH) is among the most common and disabling sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Current PTH treatments are often only partially effective have problematic side effects. We previously showed in a small randomized trial patients with chronic nontraumatic headaches that manipulation dietary fatty acids decreased frequency, severity, pain medication use. Pain reduction was associated alterations oxylipins derived from n-3 n-6 acids, suggesting could potentially mediate clinical reduction. The objective this study to investigate whether circulating measured acute setting after TBI serve as prognostic biomarkers for developing PTH. Participants enrolled Traumatic Head Injury Neuroimaging Classification Protocol provided serum within 3 days were followed up at 90 postinjury neurobehavioral symptom inventory (NSI) satisfaction life survey. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methods profiled 39 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), arachidonic linoleic acid. Statistical analyses assessed association severity (primary outcome, by question on NSI) well associations between total NSI or survey scores. Among oxylipins, 4-hydroxy-DHA 19,20-epoxy-docosapentaenoate (DHA derivatives) inversely 11-hydroxy-9-epoxy-octadecenoate (a derivative) positively severity. These findings support potential DHA-derived development
