How much time does it take to heal a shaken brain? does acupuncture help?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
A long time: A closed head injury takes a long time to recover, unless it is a very very mild injury. Closed head injury means the brain got shaken up by forces like an impact or an explosion, but without the skull breaking open. The degree and rate of recovery is dependent upon individual circumstances. Many patients don't heal back to normal, but end up in a stable state that's different from before injury.
