Increased concern regarding the lasting effects of a concussion has prompted researchers to critically evaluate differences in recovery, treatments, and other factors in pediatric populations. Age-specific studies of concussion are currently lacking; adult guidelines for treatment after a concussion are being applied to pediatric populations. Current research has challenged the traditional treatment of strict rest in younger individuals after a concussion, evaluated the adherence to management protocols, and assessed the financial burden of taking care of a child after a concussion. Understanding the differences between adult and pediatric populations after a brain injury is essential in determining the proper treatment for the individual. It is the goal of these article reviews to highlight research in the field of pediatric concussion today. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
