The Berlin Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport

The Berlin Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport is a set of internationally agreed guidelines that define how to recognize, assess, and manage sports-related concussions. It emphasizes a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to ensure athlete safety, including proper diagnosis, gradual return-to-play protocols, and awareness of concussion symptoms. The aim is to reduce the risk of long-term brain injury by promoting standardized practices across sports and healthcare providers, ensuring athletes receive appropriate care and recovery before resuming activity.
