Cognitive Processing Therapy in Patients with Subdural Hematoma

Understanding Subdural Hematomas

• Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) often requires urgent surgical intervention, particularly for significant cases with thickness greater than 5 mm and midline shift greater than 5 mm 1

Management Priorities for Subdural Hematoma

• Surgical intervention may be required for significant acute subdural hematoma, defined as thickness greater than 5 mm with midline shift greater than 5 mm, as per guidelines that may align with those from neurological societies such as the American Association of Neurological Surgeons 1

CPT Implementation in Patients with Subdural Hematoma

Monitoring During CPT

• Clinicians should be alert for headache pattern changes that could indicate complications during CPT sessions, as suggested by research in the field of neurology, potentially guided by principles from the American Academy of Neurology 2
