Subconcussive head trauma

Topic

Subconcussive head trauma refers to brain injuries resulting from head impacts that are not severe enough to cause clinical symptoms of a concussion, such as loss of consciousness or noticeable neurological deficits. Despite being asymptomatic in the acute phase, repetitive subconcussive impacts are increasingly recognized as a major risk factor for long-term neurological damage, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
