Coping With Post Concussion Syndrome After an Accident in Indianapolis (Part B)

One of the hardest parts of dealing with post-concussion syndrome after an accident in Indianapolis is getting a proper diagnosis. You will want to work closely with a team of physicians, as well as with an Indianapolis accident attorney, to help with the legal side of your accident and pursuing compensation for your injuries.

Diagnosing Post-Concussion Syndrome After an Accident in Indianapolis

Post-concussion syndrome is often mistaken for other mood or attention disorders because the symptoms are so similar. Evidence of the injuries may not appear on conventional neuroimaging tests, such as CT scans and MRIs, and many doctors may misdiagnose the patient as having depression, personality disorders or a psychological disorder.

The best method the medical community has found to identify the syndrome is Quantitative EEG (QEEG), a highly specific neuroimaging test. It is a non-intrusive, objective test that accurately identifies the brain dysfunction associated with post-concussion syndrome by evaluating the brain's electrical activity.

Treating Post-Concussion Syndrome After an Accident in Indianapolis

Neurotherapy, or EEG biofeedback, works to produce normal patterns of brainwave activity by giving patients audio/visual rewards. During neuropathy, specific brainwave patterns that need to be restructured are identified and normalized. Using this treatment can improve concentration and overall enhancement of mental performance.

Other treatments often used for patients include:

• pain relievers;
• anti-depressants;
• organizational training; and
• personalized memory rehabilitation.

Living with this disorder can be difficult to adjust to because it affects so many facets of daily life. If you have not pursued a claim after your accident in Indianapolis yet, it is time to contact an Indianapolis accident attorney; you owe it to yourself to begin moving forward with your case and with your life.
