Facts About Concussions by Drew Cayton and Damien Bonnett For about 9 in 10 people with concussions, symptoms disappear within 7 to 10 days. People who suffer from concussions generally fully recover quickly. However, in some cases, symptoms can last for days or weeks. A concussion is a mild form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. A concussion can also be caused by violent movement or jarring of the head or neck. Loss of consciousness is thought to occur in less than 10% of concussions. The most common causes of concussions are sports injuries (football, hockey, rugby, basketball, etc.), bicycle accidents, car accidents, and falls. In certain severe concussions, symptoms can linger for weeks or even months, due to a complication called post concussion syndrome. https://www.dosomething.org
