IntroductionThere is a growing shift in recognising the frequency, persistence, and impact of post-concussion symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The previously held belief that mTBI is predominately an acute event, with only a small minority of individuals experiencing persisting symptoms, is no longer supported (1–4). A substantial proportion of people can experience post-concussion symptoms that can persist for several months and sometimes even years (4–7).
