A new study on youth & concussion says an earlier return to school can help improve symptoms. "Concussion-injured students can start their early return by going to school for one or two hours first, then progressing to half days and then full days"

Findings from this study suggest that prolonged absence from school after a concussion may be detrimental to recovery. Early return to school with appropriate accommodations may support quicker recovery📈 (5/6)

[360 Concussion Care @360Concussion]

The authors speculate that the benefits of early return to school may be related to increased socialization, reduced stress from missed schoolwork, maintenance of a regular sleep/wake cycle, and earlier return to safe physical activity known to improve recovery (4/6)
