它是什么?
脑震荡是一种轻度创伤性脑损伤,会暂时影响大脑功能。当头部受到打击或身体受到撞击导致头部用力来回移动时,就会发生这种情况。有许多情况会导致脑震荡,包括跌倒、接触性运动事故和机动车事故。
典型的认知和行为特征是什么?
脑震荡的体征和症状因受伤的严重程度而异。有些脑震荡会导致您失去知觉,但大多数不会。有些症状可能很微妙,可能不会立即出现。典型的认知和行为特征包括:
身体体征和症状
- 头痛
- 恶心或呕吐
- 言语不清
- 睡意
- 头晕
- 模糊的视野
- 对光或噪音敏感
- 平衡问题
- 睡眠困难
认知症状
- 困惑
- 处理速度较慢
- 集中困难
- 内存问题
- 执行困难,例如多任务处理、计划和组织问题
性格变化
- 易怒
- 情绪不稳定
- 情绪低落
- 焦虑
评估如何提供帮助?
脑震荡体征和症状本身通常是暂时的。如果没有并发症,大多数人会在 90 天内完全康复。然而,一小部分人在脑震荡后继续出现持续症状。
在这种情况下,考虑到其他潜在的影响因素(例如,其他先前的头部受伤、先前存在的医疗或心理困难),神经心理学评估有助于调查伤害的影响。然后根据个人的神经心理学特征提供治疗和建议。
