Abstract

Background: Concussions are a prevalent health concern, affecting millions of individuals in the United States yearly. Concussion symptomology overlaps with other conditions making diagnosis and management particularly challenging, particularly among individuals with ADHD. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a significant portion of the adult population.

Objective: To enhance our understanding of symptom resolution and identify factors that could influence concussion care management, the purpose of the current study was to examine the recovery trajectory of adults diagnosed with both ADHD and concussion compared to the trajectory of adults who have experienced a concussion but do not have an ADHD diagnosis.

Methods: The study included a retrospective chart review of patients treated for concussion at a concussion specialty clinic.

Results: The findings of the study revealed no significant differences in history of concussion or recovery time between patients with and without ADHD. It was observed that patients with ADHD had a higher prevalence of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.

Conclusions: The findings of the current study underscore the need for additional research to guide the care of patients diagnosed with both ADHD and concussion.

在脑震荡专科门诊就诊的多动症成人的脑震荡特征。

背景：脑震荡是一个普遍存在的健康问题，每年影响着美国数百万人。脑震荡的症状与其他疾病重叠，使得诊断和管理特别具有挑战性，尤其是在多动症患者中。多动症是一种神经发育障碍，影响着相当一部分成年人：为了加深我们对症状缓解情况的了解，并确定可能影响脑震荡护理管理的因素，本研究旨在对同时被诊断出患有多动症和脑震荡的成年人的康复轨迹与经历过脑震荡但未被诊断出患有多动症的成年人的康复轨迹进行比较：研究包括对在脑震荡专科门诊接受治疗的脑震荡患者进行回顾性病历审查：研究结果显示，有多动症和没有多动症的患者在脑震荡病史或康复时间上没有明显差异。据观察，患有多动症的患者患有焦虑症、抑郁症和其他精神疾病的比例较高：目前的研究结果表明，有必要开展更多的研究，以指导对同时被诊断为多动症和脑震荡患者的治疗。
