For the first time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a set of guidelines to improve how we deal with youth concussions, offering recommendations for doctors and reassuring parents.
Based on 25 years of concussion-related scientific research, the new guidelines on the diagnosis and management of youth concussions were published in JAMA Pediatrics on Sept. 4.
Younger individuals, especially children and adolescent athletes, are at high risk of concussions which are also referred to as mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI). They may often go undetected, but repeated concussions can increase the risk of conditions like dementia later in life.
