Welcome to NeuroTalk. Dr Carrick's protocol has had hit and miss results. Trying to compare one concussion to the next regarding Carrick is not going to give you reliable information.

Regarding this article, the focused research is full of holes. The only valid point is the need to avoid causing anxiety during recovery or rest periods. There is varied research and anecdotal evidence that shows 24 to 48 hours of quiet rest, not cocooning, has shown to be important . Whether longer rest is beneficial depends on the individual and the definition of rest. There is a definite need to encourage good brain blood flow.
