What causes nightmares after a concussion?
human
I am an athletic trainer working with a women's soccer team, and one of the ladies sustained a concussion and we do imPact testing on our athletes and she is improving, however, she is c/o terrifying nightmares that are keeping causing sleep disturbances.  She has never had nightmares that she can recall before the incident, can there be a kink to the concussive episode that we may need to consider?

HIThanks for using healthcare magicNightmare is related to psychological stress. In her case, due to head injury, she is scared and getting such kind of nightmares. In her case, she could try some benzodiazepine on low dose. That would help to control nightmares. She can also try some relaxation technique. That would keep her calm. In case, she needs further help, you can ask.Thanks
