Interventions for postconcussion syndrome

Although Postconcussion syndrome (PCS) only develops in a minority of cases of mild traumatic brain injury, affected individuals can experience significant distress and prove challenging for services. This paper outlines the risk factors for PCS, relevant theoretical models are discussed, and studies of therapeutic interventions reviewed. It is concluded that early intervention is beneficial, but much further research is required in order to determine which aspects of interventions are most effective for chronic PCS.
