Post-concussion syndrome develops when symptoms persist beyond typical recovery periods following mild traumatic brain injury, with unclear etiology involving both neurobiological and psychological factors. Current evidence-based treatment combines pharmacological options (amantadine, methylphenidate, SSRIs) with non-drug rehabilitation approaches, though no unified treatment algorithm exists.
This pilot study of 24 TBI patients found that one-third met criteria for neurocognitive disorder, with affected patients showing significantly lower performance on working memory, processing speed, and general cognitive screening measures. Key findings included associations between cognitive impairment and higher body mass index, lower functional outcomes, and challenges with timely assessment delivery in routine clinical settings.
This scoping review of 25 studies (1976-2025) documents traumatic brain injuries in surfing, including concussions, skull fractures, and intracranial hemorrhages occurring at 0.8-1.9% prevalence in emergency department cohorts. The analysis reveals under-quantified neurotrauma risk and highlights gaps in surfing-specific helmet efficacy data and standardized return-to-play guidelines despite the sport's Olympic status.
This article examines whether neuroprotective therapeutic interventions for traumatic brain injury may remain effective beyond the traditionally recognized acute phase, potentially extending treatment opportunities over weeks to months. The review evaluates current evidence regarding delayed neuroprotection mechanisms and clinical feasibility of extended treatment windows in TBI management.
A qualitative study interviewed eight rugby union healthcare professionals about their experiences with current head injury assessment protocols on-field and pitch-side. Findings show that while standardized protocols provide structure, clinical judgment remains essential for accurate diagnosis, and professionals express cautious optimism toward emerging technologies like biomarker testing and motor control assessments.
