2.3.6 Summary

After reviewing the relevant literature on CTE , it appears many questions remain unanswered. While significant progress is being made in the field, the incidence, prevalence, and relevant risk factors of CTE remains to be known, as well as its relationship to multiple concussions and subconcussive blows to the head, aggression and physical violence, and suicidality. Researchers have to develop a way to diagnose CTE during patients’ lives in order to construct proper research designs to shed light on these relationships. In addition, validated animal models are required to gain insight into the underlying mechanism in order to develop treatment , comprehensive care, and rehabilitation strategies in the future. Currently, the primary strategy to reduce the development of CTE is prevention of trauma by limiting the potential for an additional injury after a concussion, enforcing proper safety equipment, and through public education regarding proper detection and management of acute mild TBI.
