Dr. Guan Yanlei
After a mild concussion, patients have a clear history of trauma. The symptoms of mild concussion are as follows:
1. When the brain is subjected to external force, patients may experience transient, progressive loss of consciousness and be unable to recall events that occurred in the minutes or tens of minutes following the injury;
2. Upon regaining consciousness, patients may exhibit clinical manifestations such as headache, dizziness, insomnia, and fatigue. The duration of symptoms varies—some may last 1–2 weeks, while others may persist for 2–3 months;
3. When visiting the hospital, brain CT scans show no significant abnormalities, and neurological examinations by physicians reveal no definite neurological signs of impairment.
