Abstract

Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is a clinical term used to point out the complicated combination of physical, emotional, cognitive and behavioral signs and symptoms associated with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI). This study was conducted to assess the improvement or debilitating effect of behavioral therapy in addition to the conventional treatment and to document these results for increasing the efficiency of treatment provided to such patients. This study was primarily an interventional prospective cohort which was conducted in the department of neurosurgery,Allama Iqbal Medical College. Sample size was set at 200 patients which were randomly distributed into 2 groups. Interventional group with Cognitive behavioral therapy added in addition to conventional treatment regimen and the Control group receiving only conventional treatment. Results were noted initially as well as after two weeks of follow up period. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Among the patients that were given therapy sessions along with conventional medicine, there was significant improvement in the symptoms and their
overall quality of life. It is also important to notice that the time period taken for these effects to wane was cut down by psychiatric solutions too. So, we can conclude that CBT sessions not only speed up recovery in patients of postconcussion syndrome, they also aid in efficient improvement in functional capability and quality of life.
