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.
