TBICoE approach to concussion rehabilitation in service members and veterans.
Review in NeuroRehabilitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundConcussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is a condition with unique ties to military service. Service members (SMs) are inherently at a higher risk for concussive injuries due to the intense physical training environment and combat operational tempo required to serve. The Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence (TBICoE) is the US Department of Defense authority on this condition and provides a thorough approach to management of concussion and associated symptom sequela.
objectivesThis article seeks to review the TBICoE approach to the management and rehabilitation of military SMs with mTBI, and highlight resources available to military medical providers.
methodsThe authors reviewed evidence and TBICoE resources to provide this comprehensive overview of the TBICoE approach to management and rehabilitation of concussion in military SMs.
resultsA progressive return to activity protocol in conjunction with symptom-guided management of common post-concussive sequelae, including headache, vestibular and oculomotor issues, sleep dysfunction, cognitive rehabilitation, and behavioral health comorbidities are essential for concussion management in the acute, post-acute and chronic phases of injury.
conclusionThe TBICoE approach to the rehabilitation of military SMs is comprehensive, and includes initial management with a stepwise return to duty protocol and an objective return to duty screening. The mainstays of treatment for SMs with post-acute and chronic post-concussion symptoms are headache management, vestibular and oculomotor rehabilitation, sleep interventions, cognitive rehabilitation, and early intervention for behavioral health comorbidities. These evidence-based strategies may be applied in the treatment of SMs in the US and internationally.
