Rehabilitation of Persistent Symptoms After Concussion

Ashley Lujan et al. Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 2024 Aug.

Abstract

Persistent symptoms following a mild traumatic brain injury are challenging to treat and pose a significant threat to community reintegration. Early recognition and intervention play a pivotal role in preventing the development of persistent symptoms by providing education that emphasizes clear recovery expectations and the high likelihood of full symptom resolution. We recommend early development of a personalized treatment plan, offering guidance on gradual return to activity and specific symptom-targeted treatments that may incorporate both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions.

Keywords: Chronic; Concussion; Headaches; Persistent symptoms; Postconcussive syndrome.
