Concussions have garnered more attention in the medical literature, media, and social media. As such, in the nomenclature according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the term concussion has been supplanted by the term mild traumatic brain injury. Current numbers indicate that 1.7 million TBIs are documented annually, with estimates around 3 million annually (173,285 sports- and recreation-related TBIs among children and adolescents). The Sideline Concussion Assessment Tool 3 and the NFL Sideline Concussion Assessment Tool are commonly used sideline tools.
脑震荡在医学文献、媒体和社交媒体中受到了更多关注。因此，根据疾病控制与预防中心的命名法，“脑震荡”一词已被“轻度创伤性脑损伤”所取代。目前的数据显示，每年有170万例创伤性脑损伤被记录在案，估计每年约有300万例（儿童和青少年中有173285例与运动和娱乐相关的创伤性脑损伤）。场边脑震荡评估工具3和美国国家橄榄球联盟场边脑震荡评估工具是常用的场边工具。
