Effectiveness of bed rest after mild traumatic brain injury: a randomised trial of no versus six days of bed rest

摘要

Background: Outcome after mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is determined largely by the appearance of post-traumatic complaints (PTC). The prevalence of PTC after six months is estimated to be between 20 and 80%. Bed rest has been advocated to prevent PTC but its effectiveness has never been established.
