Appears promising!: Study showed Pts.who had not spontaneously recovered from concussion following a period of cognitive and physical rest, and were still experiencing persistent neurocognitive deficits and concussion symptoms at 3 to 4 weeks post-injury, reported a significant decrease in reported symptoms as well as improvements in verbal memory and reaction time on neurocognitive tests compared to a control group
