  Functional Neuroimaging Guided Active Rehabilitation for PCS: A Retrospective Comparative Study of an NVC-Targeting Therapeutic Approach
  Author(s): Caleb T Epps, Marci L Johnson, Alina K Fong and Mark D Allen*
  
  Background: Recent work has demonstrated several advancements in therapeutic options for patients with postconcussion syndrome (PCS). Specifically, active rehabilitation has emerged as a promising direction for the best treatment outcomes. Enhanced Performance in Cognition (EPIC) is one form of active rehabilitation for PCS that uses a multi-disciplinary clinical approach focusing on two primary aims: the objective diagnosis of PCS using a quantitative, biomarker-based form of fMRI, and targeted neurorehabilitation. The targeting and rehabilitation of the neurovascular coupling (NVC) unit is an essential and novel component of this approach. This study seeks to contribute to the current field of active PCS therapy by demonstrating the usefulness of targeting NVC dysfunction. Further, we compare the EPIC protocol to treatment as usual using a retrospective comparative .. View more»
