\r\n What is a concussion? <\/h1>\r\n \r\n
\r\n

A concussion, also known as a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is an invisible brain injury. It occurs after a blow to the head or a body impact that causes the brain to move abruptly inside the skull. Unlike other traumatic injuries, concussions typically don’t cause structural damage visible on standard imaging (such as MRI or CT scans). Still, they can lead to a wide range of symptoms, some of which last for weeks or even months.<\/p>\n

A concussion alters how you think and feel and doesn’t always involve a loss of consciousness. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive method designed to train the brain to optimize its electrical activity, targeting regions involved in attention, organization, and emotional regulation, thereby sustainably reducing symptoms.<\/p>\n

Who is affected?<\/strong> Concussion is the most common type of traumatic brain injury, affecting both children and adults \u2014 especially younger individuals. In Quebec alone, more than 45,000 people<\/strong> sought medical attention for concussions in 2019, and this number has been steadily increasing since 2008.<\/p>\n

Good to know:<\/strong> Most people recover within 10 days to 4 weeks, but up to 15% experience ongoing symptoms for more than three months after the trauma.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n \n\n\n

  • Sports and physical activities:<\/strong> football, hockey, rugby, soccer, and sliding sports carry increased risks due to the frequency of collisions and impacts.<\/li>\n
  • Falls:<\/strong> One of the most common causes, particularly among children and the elderly.<\/li>\n
  • Traffic accidents:<\/strong> Car or bicycle crashes can cause concussions due to sudden impacts.<\/li>\n
  • Work-related injuries:<\/strong> Especially in construction and industrial sectors, where falling objects or equipment collisions can occur.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Most people recover within 10 days to 4 weeks, but up to 15% experience ongoing symptoms for more than three months<\/strong> after the trauma. Symptoms may appear up to 48 hours post-impact. Repeated concussions can even lead to long-term neurological issues, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), commonly seen in athletes.<\/p>\n

    Common challenges include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Cognitive difficulties:<\/strong> Memory, attention, or focus issues; feeling slowed down or in a “mental fog.”<\/li>\n
    • Emotional and behavioral issues:<\/strong> Irritability, anxiety, sadness, depression, mood swings.<\/li>\n
    • Physical symptoms:<\/strong> Headaches (mild to severe), dizziness, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or noise, fatigue, blurred vision, and sleep disturbances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
