Key Points

  • To explore the relationship between multiple mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) and the severity of persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
  • Analysis of data from the general population regarding mTBI occurrences.
  • Assessment of PPCS and PTSD symptoms associated with multiple mTBIs.
  • Evaluation of early intervention strategies for affected individuals.
  • Increased severity of PPCS observed in those with multiple mTBIs.
  • Higher levels of PTSD and C-PTSD symptoms identified in individuals with a history of mTBI.
  • Need for tailored interventions highlighted to mitigate long-term psychological effects.

Abstract

Multiple mTBIs are linked to increased PPCS and PTSD/C-PTSD severity in the general population. Early identification and tailored interventions are essential to reduce long-term psychological and neurological effects.
