Persistent symptoms after concussion

Persistent symptoms after concussion means that problems such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue or difficulty concentrating continue beyond the expected early recovery period. Symptoms can affect work, studies, physical activity, social life and quality of life, and require individual assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Here you can find brief answers to common questions about persistent symptoms after concussion, assessment, and treatment options.

These are symptoms that continue beyond the initial expected recovery period following a concussion. They may include headache, dizziness, fatigue, sleep problems, sensitivity to light or sound, and difficulties with concentration or memory. Symptoms and recovery vary from person to person.

The assessment considers the injury, how the symptoms have developed, and their impact on everyday life. A clinical examination may focus on headache, the neck, balance, vision, sleep, mood, and cognitive difficulties. Other possible causes should also be considered because these symptoms are not specific to concussion.

Most people gradually improve within days or weeks, but some experience symptoms for months or longer. The duration cannot be predicted precisely for an individual. Contact a doctor if your symptoms do not improve, get worse, or make it difficult to manage everyday life.

Yes. Many people can benefit from an individualised, symptom-focused approach. Depending on the symptoms, this may include graded physical activity, treatment for headache or neck problems, balance and vision exercises, sleep support, and cognitive strategies. The plan should be tailored following a clinical assessment and adjusted according to your response.
