TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Mental fatigue after mild traumatic brain injury in relation to cognitive tests and brain imaging methods JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Johansson, Birgitta SP - e18115955 EP - e18115955 VL - 18 IS - 11 N2 - Most people recover within months after a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion, but some will suffer from long-term fatigue with a reduced quality of life and the inability to maintain their employment status or education. For many people, mental fatigue is one of the most distressing and long-lasting symptoms following an mTBI. No efficient treatment options can be offered. The best method for measuring fatigue today is with fatigue self-assessment scales, there being no objective clinical tests available for mental fatigue. The aim here is to provide a narrative review and identify fatigue in relation to cognitive tests and brain imaging methods. Suggestions for future research are presented.
