Postconcussion syndrome, a poorly understood complication, causes concussion symptoms to last for weeks or months. People who have had a concussion also double their risk of developing epilepsy within the first five years after the injury. There also is evidence that people who have had multiple concussions over the course of their lives suffer cumulative neurological damage. A link between concussions and the eventual development of Alzheimer’s disease also has been suggested.

Usually concussion symptoms go away without treatment,[57] and no specific treatment exists.[58] About one percent of people who receive treatment for MTBI need surgery for a brain lesion.[47] Traditionally, concussion sufferers are prescribed rest,[58] including plenty of sleep at night plus rest during the day.[52] Health care providers recommend a gradual return to normal activities at a pace that does not cause symptoms to worsen.[52] Education about symptoms, how to manage them, and their normal time course can lead to an improved outcome

Cumulative effects of concussions are poorly understood. The severity of concussions and their symptoms may worsen with successive injuries, even if a subsequent injury occurs months or years after an initial one.[65] Symptoms may be more severe and changes in neurophysiology can occur with the third and subsequent concussions.[48] Studies have had conflicting findings on whether athletes have longer recovery times after repeat concussions and whether cumulative effects such as impairment in cognition and memory occur.[28]

Cumulative effects may include psychiatric disorders and loss of long-term memory. For example, the risk of developing clinical depression has been found to be significantly greater for retired football players with a history of three or more concussions than for those with no concussion history.[66] Three or more concussions is also associated with a five-fold greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease earlier and a three-fold greater chance of developing memory deficits
