Abstract :

Statement of the Problem: The majority of mTBIs (concussion) will heal without further symptomatology within 4-6 weeks of initial trauma. When they do not respond and progress to the post-concussive syndrome, there is a strong likelihood of neurometabolic compromise. This can come in the form of mitochondrial dysfunction/fatigue following the metabolic cascade and efflux of potassium and the subsequent influx of calcium into the cell. There will be impaired glucose metabolism and a consequent decrease in energy production (ATP/ADP) which is vital to the neurologic rehabilitation and neuroplasticity of the individual.

Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: It is, therefore, vital to approach the changes in NMDA receptors, neuronal depolarization and changes in the blood-brain barrier, in order to allow for proper healing of the glial cells and subsequent neuro0metabolic physiology following mTBI.

Conclusion & Significance: Throughout the various stages of treatment following mTBI, there are a nutraceutical, nutritional and medical considerations to be applied, in order to maximize the individualâ??s possibility of recovery.

Recommendations: Recommendations will be made for various supplements, vitamins, minerals and dietary guidelines, as well as pharmaceutical interventions to be applied at various stages of a mTBI.
