Using Daily Rhythm Treatments to Improve Waste Clearance Problems After Concussions

Buildup of neurotoxic proteins in the brain after concussion poses significant threats.

• A sustained neuroinflammatory response may result from the accumulation of neurotoxic proteins.
• This neuroinflammation is linked to central sensitization and persistent post-concussive symptoms.
• The brain's glymphatic system is essential for clearing neurotoxic waste and is affected by sleep cycles.
• Glymphatic dysfunction and sleep disturbances are common in the acute phase following a concussion.
• Optimizing sleep through circadian therapy may be crucial for effective management of acute concussion.
