Podcast #230: Concussive Treatment

Author: Aaron Lessen, M.D.

Educational Pearls

  • 2 studies this past year looked at pediatric and adolescent patients following a concussion. They found people who returned to activity sooner did better than those who went on "brain rest".
  • While patients should still follow up with their PCP following a concussion, it is ok for patients to return to physical activity as tolerated.
