Over 1 million Japanese affected by concussions not shown in CT scans
1.35 million people in Japan who suffer from mild traumatic brain injury or MTBI, most commonly manifesting as concussion. Symptoms include memory loss, dizziness, sensory sensitivity, difficulty with thinking, and mood swings, among others. Many of the patients typically experience whiplash in car accidents or from sports injuries, resulting in the symptoms of higher brain dysfunction without proper treatment or compensation since their injuries are too small to detect in MRIs and CT scans.
