Mild traumatic brain injuries usually self-resolve without treatment. However, careful observation at home is required, and medical recommendations for return to work or sports activities should be closely followed.
Moderate to severe TBIs often lead to permanent disability, memory loss, long-term coma, or other health challenges. They usually require long-term rehabilitation to treat ongoing health concerns, learn strategies to adapt to the disabilities, and if possible, relearn skills that will enable the performance of some daily activities.
