What is the physiological time to recovery after concussion? A systematic review

Aim or objectiveThe aim of this study is to consolidate studies of physiological measures following sport-related concussion (SRC) to determine if a time course of postinjury altered neurobiology can be outlined. This biological time course was considered with respect to clinically relevant outcomes...

Description
Summary:Aim or objectiveThe aim of this study is to consolidate studies of physiological measures following sport-related concussion (SRC) to determine if a time course of postinjury altered neurobiology can be outlined. This biological time course was considered with respect to clinically relevant outcomes such as vulnerability to repeat injury and safe timing of return to physical contact risk.DesignSystematic review.Data sourcesPubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Central, PsychINFO.Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesStudies were included if they reported original research on physiological or neurobiological changes after SRC. Excluded were cases series
