Exercise Program Helps Post-Concussion Syndrome By Restoring Normal Cerebral Blood Flow

Controlled aerobic exercise rehabilitation may help restore normal cerebral blood flow regulation in patients with post-concussion syndrome patients, relieving the symptoms they experience during exercise and prolonged cognitive working memory tasks such as fatigue and difficulty concentrating, finds a new study.

Study Supports More Conservative Treatment of Concussions In Children, Teens

A 2012 study finds that the reduced flow of blood to the brain of concussed adolescent athletes sometimes persists longer than 30 days, and adds to the growing body of evidence that the brains of children and teens are more vulnerable to concussion, supports need for cognitive rest after concussion, and substantiates the need for more conservative management of concussions in young athletes.

Concussion Reduces Blood Flow To Brain Which Often Lasts More Than 30 Days

The absence of concussion symptoms doesn't mean the brain has fully recovered, suggests two new studies, one finding that blood flow and carbon dioxide levels in the brains of athletes are reduced under the stress of exercise for three to seven days after a concussion, the second finding significant reductions in cerebral blood flow in young athletes which persisted more than 30 days after injury.
