Abstract

Abstract

Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) usually refers to the patients with Glasgow coma scale of 13-15 after the injury, and the duration of coma does not exceed 30 minutes and the duration of amnesia does not exceed 24 hours. There are a large number of TBI patients in China and around the world. Most patients can quickly return to normal work and life after the injury, but some patients still have long-term symptoms and cannot return to work, causing a heavy economic and psychological burden on the patients and their families. Although most of these patients do not show obvious structural abnormalities, they are usually accompanied by various functional disorders, and the clinical symptoms are complex and varied, including headache, dizziness, memory loss, loss of smell, hearing loss, vision loss, emotional problems, sleep problems, etc. Due to the diversity of clinical manifestations in patients, multidisciplinary therapies are often required to achieve a better prognosis. Thanks to the development of general practice in recent years, it has natural advantages in the integration of medical resources from various disciplines and the long-term follow-up of patients. Returning to work is a milestone in patients ' recovery, marking the point at which patients can begin to reintegrate into society, and returning to work as early as possible has a positive impact on patients ' recovery. Currently, some foreign studies have pointed out that the factors affecting the return to work of patients with mTBI include social demographic factors, disease factors, psychological factors, social support and so on. This paper summarizes the research in this field, hoping to identify high-risk patients who cannot return to work at an early stage, and start targeted rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible, to help patients overcome physical and psychological difficulties, so as to return to the society and work more quickly.
