Concussion Symptom Treatment Using Acoustic Stimulation
Concussion Symptom Treatment Using Acoustic Stimulation In the U.S. military, over 370,000 service members have had mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) or concussions since 2000, possibly more due to underreporting. While most recover within 7–30 days, about 15% face persistent postconcussive symptoms (PPCS) for at least 3 months. Despite the end
