Most people recover within months after a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion, but some will suffer from long-term fatigue with a reduced quality of life and the inability to maintain their employment status or education. For many people, mental fatigue is one of the most distressing and long-lasting symptoms following an mTBI. No efficient treatment options can be offered. The best method for measuring fatigue today is with fatigue self-assessment scales, there being no objective clinical tests available for mental fatigue. The aim here is to provide a narrative review and identify fatigue in relation to cognitive tests and brain imaging methods. Suggestions for future research are presented.
大多数人在轻度创伤性脑损伤(TBI)或脑震荡后数月内即可康复,但有些人会长期疲劳,生活质量下降,无法维持其就业状况或教育水平。对于许多人来说,精神疲劳是 mTBI 后最痛苦和持久的症状之一。目前还没有有效的治疗方法。衡量疲劳的最佳方法是使用疲劳自我评估量表,目前还没有用于精神疲劳的客观临床测试。本文旨在提供一个叙述性的综述,并确定与认知测试和脑成像方法相关的疲劳。提出了未来研究的建议。
