Post-Concussion Syndrome Management

Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) management involves monitoring symptoms and gradually returning to normal activities. Rest is important initially, but prolonged inactivity can worsen recovery, so gentle activity is encouraged as tolerated. Managing symptoms may include pain relievers, sleep regulation, and avoiding stress or triggers. Cognitive and physical rest should be balanced with gradual rehabilitation exercises, often guided by a healthcare professional. Protecting the head from further injury is crucial. Most symptoms improve over time, but persistent issues may require specialized therapies like counseling, physical therapy, or cognitive assessments. Regular follow-up helps ensure a safe, effective recovery process.
