What tests are available for this!

I don't think the tests you are asking for exist.
You're posting in a thread that many people who are recovering from mTBI (Mild Traumatic Brain Injury) read. Most mTBI's don't show up on any tests and can't even be proven conclusively with physical evidence that they exist until after a person dies and the brain can be dissected and looked at under a microscope. So, we don't have conclusive proof of our injuries either.
Members of this forum post articles about new research and helpful tips on how to cope with their injuries and the impairments and challenges that they are dealing with as a result of them.
I think if you want that kind of proof then you should be demanding it from the medical community and not members of this forum. Although, most of us completely understand your frustration. I think all this forum can only provide you is some support as you travel down your journey of recovery.
You pleaded for someone to respond and I responded with my opinion. I'm not a Dr., and you seem unhappy with the opinion I posted, so I suggest you speak with a specialist. Or at the very least, read more than one article on the matter. Good luck!
