Abstract
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Each year eight million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury and 10% of them become permanently disabled. Many patients experience temporary physical, cognitive and psychiatric complaints. The purpose of this paper is to examine the literature regarding effective treatment modalities for mild to moderate TBI and post-concussive syndrome. Incorporated into the paper is a discussion of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of injury, how injuries are classified and their clinical presentation, cross-cultural findings, as well as pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management of mild to moderate TBl.
