Happy #NationalNursePractitionerWeek! 🩺

La douleur et les céphalées sont fréquentes après un TCC; ils peuvent apparaître juste après la blessure et persister tout au long de la convalescence.

La douleur peut affecter la récupération cognitive, le sommeil, l'humeur, le niveau d'anxiété et le comportement.
