Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialRoutine follow up after head injury: a second randomised controlled trial.
To confirm that patients admitted to hospital with a head injury benefit from a routinely offered early intervention service. ⋯ The early interventions offered by a specialist service significantly reduced social morbidity and severity of post-concussion symptoms in trial group patients at six months after head injury. Recommendations about how specialist services should be targeted are made both in the light of these results and those from a previous randomised controlled trial.
