Clinically, the treatment of concussion is relatively simple, primarily involving internal medicine approaches such as bed rest, ensuring adequate sleep, maintaining a relatively stable mood, and achieving balanced nutritional status. These are all part of the treatment strategy. Additionally, appropriate adjunctive medications can be used for symptom control, especially when patients experience significant discomfort. Therefore, clinical decisions must be made based on individual circumstances. Follow-up evaluations should include regular head CT scans and brain MRI examinations to clearly monitor changes in the condition and enable better management.
