Update on concussion diagnosis and management

Concussion during sports activities affects about 1.6 to 3.8 million athletes each year, but the diagnosis and management of this entity are currently incompletely understood. Findings indicate that concussion can occur even without direct trauma to the head. Various governing bodies have issued position statements and reviews on the topic, but no standardized objective way to diagnose concussion has yet been found. Management remains a fluid process, and the ultimate relationship to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is just being uncovered.
