A Traumatic Brain Injury is not just an isolated event or a final outcome; rather, it is the beginning of a chronic process. For many, symptoms persist long after the initial impact. In a study of over 1,700 adults with mTBI ⁺ following auto collisions, 75% still reported more than three symptoms six weeks later, and these symptoms often persisted for over a year.

 It is very common for mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI) to be overlooked in emergency settings. Research shows that only about 35.3%⁺ of patients with documentation sufficient for a diagnosis were actually properly diagnosed in the ER. Furthermore, an estimated 56% of mTBI cases⁺ are missed in emergency departments entirely. If you are experiencing lingering "fogginess," headaches, or mood changes, a specialized neurological evaluation is essential.

Yes. A referral from an attorney, physician, or qualified provider is required. Referrals should include the reason for testing and any relevant diagnoses to ensure appropriate clinical documentation.

If the Brain Vitals Program is being utilized, patients may self-refer. Self-referred Brain Vitals testing requires a fee of $2,500, which is due at the time of scheduling.  

‍

Testing does not replace medical imaging or emergency diagnosis. It provides clinical data to support diagnoses related to cognitive and psychological functioning and helps determine the functional impact of a suspected brain injury.

Patients can expect structured tasks such as answering questions, recalling information, problem-solving exercises, and completing rating scales. The clinician will guide the patient through each step and provide breaks as needed.

‍

ImPACT is a computerized neurocognitive test often used as one data point to assess attention, memory, processing speed, and reaction time after concussion. Results should be interpreted in context - alongside symptoms and a clinician's evaluation.

• What it can help with: tracking changes over time and supporting return-to-learn/return-to-play decisions.
• What it can't do alone: 'diagnose everything' or replace a full neurotrauma evaluation.

ATN approach: objective tools are most useful when they feed into a coordinated plan for care and follow-up.

All Things Neuro supports complex neurotrauma cases by providing objective clinical findings, coordinated next steps, and documentation that helps clarify trajectory over time.

Common documentation priorities

• Injury mechanism + symptom timeline (what started when, what persists).
• Objective findings and clinical interpretation tied to function.
• Follow-up and treatment coordination showing response to care and ongoing needs.

Note: this is general clinical information, not legal advice. To start an intake for coordinated evaluation, use: Contact.

Your first visit is designed to create clarity: what happened, what symptoms you have, and what objective findings support the next step in care.

Typical first-visit flow

• History + symptom timeline (injury mechanism, prior concussions, current limitations).
• Focused neuro exam and targeted assessments based on symptoms.
• Plan + follow-up: clear recommendations, coordinated referrals, and a pathway for tracking progress.

Why All Things Neuro: the ATN model centers on coordinated, multidisciplinary neurotrauma care and objective diagnostics, not one-off symptom treatment. See ATN's approach on the Services page.

All Things Neuro provides integrated neurotrauma services that commonly include objective diagnostic testing, psychology/neuropsychology support, and concussion rehabilitation coordinated within a unified clinical pathway.

• Diagnostic Testing: tools selected to evaluate concussion and TBI-related dysfunction beyond routine imaging.
• Psychology / Neuropsychology: support for cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms.
• Concussion Rehab: coordinated rehab plans to restore function and performance.

Learn more on the ATN Services page.

Neuropsychological evaluation helps clarify attention, memory, processing speed, executive function, and how symptoms affect daily life. It is often recommended when cognitive symptoms persist or when return-to-work/school accommodations are needed.

Time and preparation

• Time: testing length varies by case; some hospital programs note it can take multiple hours depending on the scope of questions.
• Prepare: sleep normally, eat beforehand, bring glasses/hearing aids, and bring your records and medication list.

ATN coordination: when indicated, neuropsych results can help connect symptoms to function and support a clear rehab plan.

TBI testing is a comprehensive clinical assessment designed to evaluate cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning following a head injury. It helps identify deficits related to attention, memory, processing speed, executive functioning, and emotional regulation.

‍

Safe early strategies usually focus on symptom-limited activity and avoiding reinjury - not total shutdown for weeks.

• Light activity as tolerated (stop if symptoms noticeably worsen).
• Sleep consistency (same bedtime/wake time) and hydration.
• Screen breaks and gradual return to cognitive demands.

Do not delay emergency care if you have danger signs. For general public guidance, see: CDC: what to do after a concussion.

For a coordinated plan, contact All Things Neuro: Contact.

A positive finding is the start of a plan, not the end of the process. All Things Neuro coordinates next steps based on your symptom profile, functional limitations, and objective findings.

Common follow-up paths

• Rehab coordination (return to activity, vestibular/vision components when indicated).
• Psychology or neuropsychology support when cognitive, emotional, or behavioral symptoms are present.
• Repeat assessment to track progress and adjust the plan.

No. TBI testing is non-invasive.

It consists of interviews, questionnaires, and standardized neuropsychological tests. Don't worry, there are no needles, imaging, or physical procedures involved.

‍

Persistent symptoms are more likely when there are multiple symptom domains involved (headache + dizziness + sleep + mood + cognition), prior concussion history, or delayed/coordinated follow-up.

• Why ATN helps: All Things Neuro is designed to coordinate evaluation and follow-up across disciplines, so care does not get fragmented.
• Goal: clear findings, clear plan, and objective tracking over time.

Tip: mention your injury date, your main symptoms, and whether this is a motor vehicle collision, fall, workplace injury, or sports-related event.

Preparation is simple - the goal is accurate results and a clear clinical plan.

• Bring records: ER/urgent care notes, imaging reports, and prior concussion history.
• List medications/supplements and any recent changes.
• Arrive rested and fed when possible.
• Bring glasses/hearing aids if you use them.

Tip: write down your top 5 symptoms and the situations that trigger them (driving, screens, work, exercise).

CT scans are designed to rule out life-threatening bleeding or fractures. Many concussion and mild TBI cases have normal imaging even when symptoms are significant. Eye-tracking and other functional tools can help identify objective patterns that align with concussion-related dysfunction.

• CT: best for acute emergency concerns (bleeding, skull fracture).
• Functional testing (like eye tracking): may support objective assessment of neurologic function when symptoms persist.

ATN discusses diagnostic gaps in mild TBI and how advanced methods like eye tracking can support more precise assessments: ATN article.

Important: if you have emergency danger signs, seek ER care immediately.

Baseline neurocognitive testing can be helpful as one reference point, especially for organized sports programs. It should be used alongside a clinician's full evaluation and symptom history.

• Useful for: comparing changes after an injury and supporting return-to-learn/return-to-play planning.
• Not a stand-alone clearance tool: decisions should be guided by a healthcare professional.
