About this trial

The investigators aim to investigate the impact of interdisciplinary and individually tailored programs for mTBI (concussion) on quality of life and work capacity, both at the conclusion of the program and after 1 and 3 years. The investigators also want to examine whether early intervention is significant by comparing individuals who enter the program between 1 and 3 months post-concussion with those who only start the program more than 9 months post-concussion. Such a study has not been conducted before and can provide valuable insights into long-term effects and the importance of early intervention
