Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event 100% Improvement of Symptoms in Post-Concussion Syndrome in a Twenty-One Year Old College Female as a Result of Neurological Rehabilitation David Traster1, 2*, Kelsey Brenner2 and Joseph Coppus2 1 Carrick Institute, United States 2 Independent researcher, United States Background: A 21-year-old female reports with symptoms as a result of four known concussions. The most debilitating symptoms are headaches, neck pain, memory difficulties, light and sound sensitivity, and dizziness. Methods: A thorough neurological examination was performed and monitored along with pre/post diagnostic parameters including neurocognitive testing, dynamic posturography (CDP), videonystagmography (VNG), and quantitative electroencephalography(QEEG). Ten therapy sessions over a span of 10 weeks were performed and included therapies such as vestibular rehabilitation, visual rehabilitation, cognitive therapy, neuromuscular reeducation, electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves, and z-score neurofeedback training. Results: A 100% improvement was reported after the 10 treatment sessions. A 36% improvement in Trails B testing and a 15% improvement in processing speed were reported during the neurocognitive assessment after the five-day rehabilitation program. Conclusion: The patient had complete resolution of symptoms and objective improvement in executive function. The authors suggest continued research in a multimodal neurological rehabilitation in regards to treatment of post-concussion syndrome.
