Official Title: Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy for Post-Concussive Syndrome
Brief Summary:
The objectives are to evaluate impact of Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy on patients with Post-Concussive Syndrome with Rivermead Post Concussion Symptom Questionnaire (RPQ) as a primary outcome, followed by fatigue and mood as second and tertiary outcomes respectively. The investigators will also investigate brain tissue activity and oxygenation by evaluating brain wave activity via non-invasive quantitative electroencephalogram and near infrared spectroscopy testing pre and post study to better understand the metabolic effect of the PEMF intervention.
The investigators hypothesize that the PEMF treatment will have an effect on improvement of brain metabolism as measured by Near Infrared Spectroscopy which will in turn assist with improvement of the chronic symptoms of cognitive deficits, mood and fatigue as related to Post-Concussive Syndrome.
