(1) Background: There is no specific treatment for concussion in modern medicine, and existing treatment is only limited to resting and restoring cognition. For centuries, Mongolians have used traditional Mongolian medicine (TMM) methods to treat a variety of diseases such as Baria zasal. In this study, we aimed to explore the treatment parents and guardians seek when their children have suffered a concussion. (2) Methods: In this study, we used an online questionnaire. The study participants (n = 400) were randomly selected parents and guardians. The definition of bariachi is an advanced practitioner of baria zasal, which covers most of the massage therapy techniques mentioned in this study. (3) Results: In total, 72% of the parents and guardians went to a bariachi when their children suffered a concussion, while only 10.3% chose western medical hospitals. When asked what they did after the initial treatment was not effective, 47.8% of the participants responded that they went to the bariachi. Based on the days of treatment result, 11.8% reported on the beneficial effects of the treatment appearing in one day, and 60.3% in 1−3 days, which shows that the participants suffered a healing effect of the baria zasal shortly after application to their children. In the regression analysis, visiting a Bariachi was independent of age, gender, or even religion. (4) Conclusions: Although Western medicine is highly developed in Mongolia, the baria zasal of TMM has not lost its appeal in treating concussion. This suggests that baria zasal could be a unique method of concussion treatment even today. This also suggests that the techniques of Baria zasal should be further studied, and as in modern medicine.
(1) 背景：现代医学中尚无治疗脑震荡的特效方法，现有治疗仅局限于休息和恢复认知功能。几个世纪以来，蒙古人一直使用传统蒙医方法治疗诸如“巴日亚扎萨勒”等多种疾病。在本研究中，我们旨在探究当孩子发生脑震荡时家长和监护人所寻求的治疗方式。(2) 方法：在本研究中，我们使用了在线调查问卷。研究参与者（n = 400）为随机选取的家长和监护人。“巴日亚齐”的定义是“巴日亚扎萨勒”的高级从业者，涵盖了本研究中提及的大部分按摩治疗技术。(3) 结果：总计，72%的家长和监护人在孩子脑震荡时会去找巴日亚齐，而只有10.3%的人选择去西医医院。当被问及初始治疗无效后他们做了什么时，47.8%的参与者回答他们去找了巴日亚齐。基于治疗结果的天数，11.8%的人报告治疗效果在一天内显现，60.3%的人报告在1 - 3天内显现，这表明参与者在给孩子应用“巴日亚扎萨勒”后不久就有了治愈效果。在回归分析中，拜访巴日亚齐与年龄、性别甚至宗教无关。(4) 结论：尽管西医在蒙古高度发达，但蒙医的“巴日亚扎萨勒”在治疗脑震荡方面并未失去吸引力。这表明即使在今天，“巴日亚扎萨勒”也可能是一种独特的脑震荡治疗方法。这也表明“巴日亚扎萨勒”的技术应该像现代医学一样得到进一步研究。
