Experts Prescribe Active Rehab for Concussion Patients

Courtney Cameron Headshot

In October 2015, a grant from the NFL Foundation was given to fund a two-day meeting of the nation’s leading experts in the fields of concussion research, treatment and care. Experts gathered at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to discuss new leads in the active treatment of concussion patients and prepared to share with the nation the agreed-upon best practices. The result was a Statement of Agreement publication in which experts pooled their knowledge and experience regarding the best treatments and therapies for concussion patients.

Dr. Okonkwo, M.D., Ph.D., of UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh and co-director of the symposium, told Medical Xpress, “The purpose of the UPMC symposium was to engage leading clinicians and scientists in a discussion of what we know about concussion and its treatment. We hope to build on this effort to share the best available information to improve public understanding and guide future research.”
