A recent study about the timing for a child to return to school after being injured by concussion with symptoms at 14 days of postinjury. In this study, a randomized clinical trial of child participants aged 8 to 18 years with concussion symptoms was observed. This research was featured through the Post-Concussion Symptom Inventory (PCSI) score on the 14th day post-injury, which is a standardized test that focused on the after-effect symptoms of concussion such as cognitive, emotional, sleep, and physical changes.
