Then describe what that intervention would look like. 4) Conclusions

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that occurs when the brain is shaken or jolted inside the skull. This can happen as a result of a blow to the head or body, or as a result of a sudden stop or change in direction. Concussions can range in severity from mild to severe, and may or may not cause loss of consciousness.
Symptoms of a concussion may include a headache, dizziness, confusion, memory loss, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and changes in sleep patterns. These symptoms may resolve on their own within a few days or weeks, but in some cases, they may persist for longer periods of time or even become permanent.
It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect that you or someone else has sustained a concussion. A healthcare provider can assess the severity of the injury and provide appropriate treatment, which may include rest, medication, and physical therapy. In some cases, further testing, such as a CT scan or MRI, may be needed to determine the extent of the injury.
It is important to allow adequate time for the brain to heal after a concussion, and to follow the recommended treatment plan in order to minimize the risk of long-term complications. In some cases, recurrent concussions or severe concussions can lead to permanent brain damage or other serious health problems.
