The project topic title is identifying mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) post-concussive event. Currently, most mTBIs are unrecognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated, which require further research.2 In this case, a literature search will aid in finding the best available evidence addressing the project topic, including the problem and recommended interventions or approaches to addressing the research problem. Regarding the search strategy, the project topic is already identified, and the remaining steps in the search strategy include developing search terms, search fields, phrases, wildcard and proximity operators, and search limits.

The search process will involve searching with keywords and exact phrases, adopting truncated and wildcard searches, and searching with subject headings and citations. The search strategy includes searching CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases for scientific evidence. These databases provide a wide variety of abstracts and full scholarly and peer-reviewed articles. Moreover, the search will include terms such as mild traumatic brain injury, concussion, mTBI symptoms and signs, post-concussive events, post-concussion symptoms, mTBI diagnosis, etiology, prevalence, and treatment.

I will adopt filters during the literature search to identify high-quality studies on the project topic, reducing the total number of records and increasing the likelihood of finding the appropriate records. Methodological search filters, including systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and diagnostic and observational studies, will help ease the search process. The search will also adopt MeSH terms for the various databases, including brain concussion or post-concussion syndrome, concuss*, and mild traumatic brain injury, mTBI or post#concuss*. The search process has identified multiple articles related to the project topic. However, Liu et al1, Polinder et al2, and Prince and Bruhns3 directly address the problem and perceived as the best available evidence so far. The search will continue to look for evidence for analysis and synthesis to find the best available evidence. (250396 Discussion Board)
