Default What tests are there for concussion?

Hi been following the posts for some months now and was wondering what tests are there post (3 months +) for concussion.

CT scans and MRI from what I can tell rarely pick up most of the symptoms experienced by users on here.

There is the mini–mental state examination (MMSE) or Folstein test which is mainly used to test for dementia. Which is somewhat trivial - what season are we in, what room are we sitting in. Although, I got stuck on spell WORLD back wards could not do it

The other one seems to be the MMPI Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Which again seems to test for depression, anxiety, hypochondria etc.

Are there any other recognised tests available ?

Apologies if this has been covered previously
