Treatment
PCS treatment depends on your symptoms. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Medications
- Over-the-counter medications to reduce the severity of headaches
- Antidepressants to help reduce depression and anxiety
- Nerve blocks to relieve severe, nerve-injury induced pain/headaches
Psychological Treatment
- Talking with a mental health professional about the problems you are having related to PCS
- Learning how to cope with those problems in your life
Vocational Therapy
- Learning skills and training to start or resume a career
Neurotherapy
Neurotherapy (also called biofeedback) is a painless treatment using computers to help you learn how to modify your brainwaves to improve attention and memory.
Surgery
In some cases, a collection of blood in an area of bruising on the brain may require surgery, which may help resolve or improve symptoms.
