One type of closed head injury is a "concussion" which is a violent jarring or shaking injury to the brain.
While not focusing specifically on concussive brain injuries due to blast forces, the manual does include a section on mild traumatic brain injury--the level that occurs in most veterans who experience a blast-related closed head injury, This section details acute concussion management, common sequelae and course of recovery, postacute management of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), and factors complicating assessment.
