Research library
Evidence we build from
This library summarizes selected peer-reviewed sources that inform how we think about persistent concussion symptoms, dizziness, dysautonomia, visual processing, migraine and neuroplasticity. These papers are not studies of Resilient Brain Center — we are not open yet — and they do not guarantee any individual outcome. Plain-language takeaways are educational, not medical advice.
Concussion and persistent symptoms
International consensus and key clinical studies that shape modern concussion care.
Patricios JS, Schneider KJ, et al.
The Amsterdam concussion consensus summarizes current international thinking on recognition, assessment tools, recovery and the reality that some people have symptoms that persist beyond typical timelines — supporting careful, multi-domain evaluation rather than indefinite passive waiting.

Leddy JJ, et al.
A randomized trial in adolescents with sport-related concussion found that carefully dosed, sub-symptom-threshold aerobic exercise was a safe and helpful part of early care compared with a stretching control — supporting individualized exertion guidance rather than prolonged total rest for many patients.

Master CL, et al.
Vision and oculomotor problems are common after concussion in adolescents, even when people have already had routine eye checks — a reminder that acuity alone does not capture visual function after head injury.

Dizziness, PPPD and vestibular rehabilitation
Consensus criteria and rehabilitation guidelines for chronic dizziness and vestibular disorders.
Staab JP, et al.
PPPD has formal diagnostic criteria from the Bárány Society: chronic dizziness or unsteadiness worsened by upright posture, movement and complex visual stimuli, often after a precipitating event. It is classified as a functional vestibular disorder — real physiology, not a dismissive label.
Hall CD, et al.
Updated clinical practice guidelines support vestibular rehabilitation for many people with peripheral vestibular hypofunction, with tailored exercise and clear clinical decision pathways.

Lempert T, et al.
Vestibular migraine has consensus diagnostic criteria jointly addressed by vestibular and headache societies, helping clinicians recognize recurrent vestibular symptoms tied to migraine biology.
Dysautonomia, POTS and post-viral syndromes
Expert summaries that frame autonomic and post-infectious neurological symptoms.
Vernino S, et al.
An NIH expert consensus meeting summary reviews the science and clinical care of POTS, underscoring that orthostatic intolerance is a physiological condition requiring careful diagnosis and multi-modal support.

Soriano JB, et al.
A WHO Delphi consensus provides a clinical case definition for post-COVID-19 condition, recognizing ongoing symptoms that affect daily function after infection.

Migraine classification
The standard international framework for headache diagnosis.
Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society.
ICHD-3 is the international classification used to define migraine and related headache disorders, providing shared language for clinicians and researchers.

Neuroplasticity and rehabilitation principles
Foundational principles behind experience-dependent recovery training.
Kleim JA, Jones TA.
Kleim and Jones outline principles of experience-dependent neural plasticity — including specificity, repetition, intensity and salience — that continue to guide how thoughtful rehabilitation is designed after brain injury.

How to read this library
DOIs link to publishers or landing pages. Some full texts require institutional access. We cite sources so you and your clinicians can verify them. No outcome statistics for our clinic appear here because we have not opened yet — and we will not invent them.
