Evaluation and treatment of mild traumatic brain injury: the role of neuropsychology

Open access
Prince, Carolyn, Bruhns, Maya·2017·Brain Sciences

Abstract

Awareness of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and persisting post-concussive syndrome (PCS) has increased substantially in the past few decades, with a corresponding increase in research on diagnosis, management, and treatment of patients with mTBI. The purpose of this article is to provide a narrative review of the current literature on behavioral assessment and management of patients presenting with mTBI/PCS, and to detail the potential role of neuropsychologists and rehabilitation psychologists in interdisciplinary care for this population during the acute, subacute, and chronic phases of recovery.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There are currently no treatments considered effective for acute or ongoing symptoms of mTBI.

    “There are currently no treatments that are considered effective for acute (Gravel et al., 2013) or ongoing symptoms of mTBI (Prince & Bruhns, 2017).”

    From Investigation of neurobiological responses to theta burst stimulation during recovery from mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) (2023) · cites this paper as Prince & Bruhns, 2017

    The Prince and Bruhns citation is attached to ongoing symptoms, not acute symptoms. Section 7.2 acknowledges limited research on treatments for persistent post-concussive symptoms but reports adequate support for cognitive-behavioral therapy; Section 8 also describes growing support for intervention efficacy. That contradicts the categorical claim that no treatments are considered effective for ongoing symptoms. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
