While most patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), also known as concussion, completely recover within days to weeks, some individuals experience persistent symptoms such as dizziness. Dizziness is a common symptom following mTBI and if left unresolved or untreated, can have a significant impact on a service member’s quality of life.
Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (DCoE) developed “Assessment and Management of Dizziness Associated with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Reference Card and Clinical Recommendation” to give primary care providers a quick and easy way to help evaluate and manage dizziness symptoms in patients who have been diagnosed with mTBI.
