Learning objectives:

1. Describe the historical evolution of concussion symptom management.
2. Review the most recent current guidelines for concussion and expected recovery times.
3. Provide research-based evidence for strategies on improving recovery.
4. Highlight potential future directions of treatment paradigms.
