Study Suggests Brain Injuries May Evolve, Not Resolve, Over Time
Service members with concussions may have symptoms that continue to evolve up to 5 years after the initial injury. The findings challenge the idea that these individuals with chronic brain injuries maintain a relatively stable course of recovery. “Careful examination of combat-deployed service members, from the point of injury to one and five years later identified an evolution, not resolution, of symptoms,” said study author Christine L. Mac Donald, Ph.D., of the University of Washington School of Medicine, in Seattle. “In particular, a proportion of patients did worse on neurobehavioral and psychiatric evaluations when comparing one to five years, demonstrating the need to consider that not all chronic brain injury patients have the same experience in the years post injury.”
