| title | The Effects of Post-Concussion Symptoms on a Patient's Overall Quality of Life |
| abstract |
The limited knowledge and data surrounding head injuries and concussions in particular has led society towards
greater fear and anxiety when combating these issues surrounding the circumstances of concussions. The efficacy
of data and research has continued to advance since the 19th century when concussions were first understood, but
the mechanism, protocol, and proper treatment regimens are still vague (Harrison, 2014). Through the use of
understanding plausible hypotheses relating to the neuromechanism of concussions and the impact of post-concussion
symptoms on the quality of life of patients, society can develop a better understanding of where concussion research
is headed and where it stands currently. Limited knowledge surrounding the neurmechanistic pathways of concussions,
the influence of history on current protocol, and the effectiveness of treatment regimens of patients post-concussion
are the key factors necessary to further explore and improve the quality of life post-concussion.
