The goal of the CDC Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Guideline is to help healthcare providers take action to
improve the health of their patients. The CDC Pediatric mTBI Guideline consists of 19 sets of clinical recommendations that
cover diagnosis, prognosis, and management and treatment. These recommendations are for healthcare providers working
in: inpatient, emergency, primary, and outpatient care settings.
The CDC Pediatric mTBI Guideline was developed through a rigorous process guided by the American Academy of Neurology
and 2010 National Academy of Sciences methodologies. An extensive review of scientific literature, spanning 25 years of
research, formed the basis of the Guideline.
