Naltrexone treatment for postconcussional syndrome
FS Tennant Jr and J Wild
Two patients with postconcussional syndrome whose most severe symptoms were
blackouts, headaches, and amnesia episodes appeared to respond to
naltrexone. Because life-saving emergency trauma services are widely
available, it is likely that the incidence of postconcussional syndrome
will increase.
