The Brain

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) affect up to 1.5 million people annually within the United States with as many as 250,000 being hospitalized and 50,000 dying [1]. TBI events occur when the brain experiences a sudden trauma such as a rapid acc/deceleration. These events produce high inertial forces that result in a shearing or elongation of axons (commonly known as Diffuse Axonal Injury [2].

Taking Care

This manual is for everyone who treats people with concussion. There are more than 3 million brain injuries each year in the United States and millions more around the world. Most of these injuries are concussions. After concussion, 30% or maybe even more can have prolonged symptoms and deficits. Much of this manual is written for the people who take care of the 30%. There is not one specific “post-concussion syndrome.” Instead, there are many post-concussive paths, and this manual is written to help those who are tasked with figuring this out, one patient at a time. This manual is about pragmatic approaches to taking care of patients in the absence of true scientific evidence. This manual is written to be used “on the fly,” right now, without a lot of prior studying or memorization. This manual is meant to supplement, not replace, the knowledge and judgment of medical providers caring for concussion patients.
