Cognitive Dysfunction After Concussion Concussion Alliance
Cognition refers to the mental skills we utilize in our everyday lives. These skills are critical for comprehension, reading, thinking, planning, remembering, and organizing. Concussions are one of the most common causes of cognitive dysfunction . Below we discuss the types of cognitive dysfunction , at-risk populations, recovery, mental health, and treatment.
Types of cognitive deficits range widely and differ from person to person, but they all tend to impair the individual's capacity to process information. Cognitive rehabilitation therapy (CRT) aims to help concussion patients overcome cognitive deficits. For details on cognitive dysfunction , see our Cognitive Dysfunction page.
Persistent hypersensitivity after repeat concussion is ...
Persistent sensory hypersensitivity is a common but under-recognized feature of post- concussion syndrome (PCS) following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and may contribute to chronic cognitive complaints. However, the mechanistic relationship between long-term sensory dysregulation and cognitive dysfunction after repeat concussion remains poorly understood. Here, we used an experimental ...
Objective The purpose of this study was to examine cognitive deficits following sport-related concussions in the acute, intermediate, and long-term time period after initial head trauma.
Cognitive Deficits Following Concussion
By Lacee K Collins, Sione A. Ofa & 2 more. The purpose of this study was to examine cognitive deficits following sport-related concussions in the acute, intermediate, and long-term time period after initial head trauma.
Cognitive effects from concussion linger one-year post-injury, indicating the importance of continuing to follow concussion patients for many months after recovery and to take special note of constellations of cognitive abilities.
Overview of Cognitive Dysfunction After Concussion Concussion Alliance
Research on NVC dysfunction after traumatic brain injury proposes this as a unifying theory for post- concussion syndrome, explaining how disruptions to neuronally-triggered regional cerebral blood flow account for a significant portion of persistent symptoms.
ANS dysfunction can play a role in persistent post- concussion symptoms. Some therapy options for ANS dysfunction are vestibular rehabilitation therapy, biofeedback therapy, and graduated exercise therapy.
Concussion Alliance
Concussion recovery begins with education; we're here to ensure patients and caregivers know what to do next. We are a science-based concussion education and advocacy nonprofit meeting the diverse needs of concussion patients and educating providers on current research and recommendations.
Approximately 10-20% of patients who have sustained a mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) show persistent post- concussion symptoms (PCS). This review aims to summarize the level of evidence concerning interventions for PCS. Following the PRISMA ...
