Common Symptoms Following Traumatic Brain Injuries in Nebraska

The following is a list of symptoms that are common in people who have suffered traumatic brain injury. A person who suffers from a number of these symptoms has not necessarily suffered brain damage. Many of these symptoms can be explained not only by traumatic brain injury but by other conditions such as chronic pain, sleep deprivation, and other neurological disorders. Diagnosis should be left to the hands of a competent neuropsychologist or medical doctor who has experience in working with people who have suffered brain injury.

Among those individuals who have suffered mild traumatic brain injury or post-concussional syndrome, about 90% will have their symptoms resolve within six months to two years from the time of the traumatic incident. In the remaining 10%, the symptoms will persist, and the patient will have reached maximum medical improvement within two years of the date of the traumatic incident.
