That’s why President Trump warned the companies that if they ‘refuse to step up, we will deploy every tool in our arsenal to protect American families from continued abusive drug pricing practices.’”
New study finds majority of patients receiving targeted concussion treatment reported still being recovered and exhibited normal quality of life scores 1-6 years after injury.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – As the fall sports season approaches, athletes and their families may be concerned about the potential risk of head injuries. Now, they can take comfort in the findings of a clinical study done on the long-term outcomes of concussion patients. After receiving targeted treatment for concussion in which an individualized “profile” is created for patients, more than 83% of them reported still being fully recovered from their concussions, ranging from 1-6 years after the injury.
Creating an individualized clinical profile of a patient’s concussion is a relatively new practice and has gained much wider acceptance over the last decade. But to date, no one has followed up with patients who have received what’s known as “clinical-profiles informed care” for their concussion.
