Brain Damage Can Occur During Mild Head Injury
A recent study by scientists at Cambridge University has demonstrated that brain damage can occur in even mild bumps to the head.
The patients in the trial had suffered a concussion from a variety of sources such as contact sports, cycling accidents and car crashes.
The study showed that 45% of patients who suffered a concussion showed symptoms of long-lasting brain damage such as headaches, depression, and fatigue.
Dr. Emmanuel Stamatakis, the lead author, said: “At present, we have no clear way of working out which of these patients will have a speedy recovery and which will take longer, and the combination of over-optimistic and imprecise prognoses means some patients risk not receiving adequate care.”
