INTRODUCTION/SUPPORT. Concussion incidence rates are at epidemiological levels and rising (Giza & Hovda, 2001). In 2011, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimated 1.6-3.8 million sport- or recreation-related concussions occur per year (Daneshvar et al., 2011), and concussion rates are increasing in adolescents (Zhang et al., 2016). Concussion is a complex pathophysiologic process affecting the brain, induced by biomechanical forces (McCrory et al., 2013). Concussion-related symptoms interrupt the daily functioning of the concussed individual and current concussion recovery guidelines emphasize rest and the avoidance of symptom provoking behaviors to minimize concussion-related symptoms throughout recovery (McCrory et al., 2013). Concussion injury results in measurable EEG abnormalities detectable by electrophysiological techniques (Rapp et al., 2015). Cortical deregulation due to concussion injury as depicted by QEEG may be addressed by neurofeedback shortly after injury.
