Patients who experience agitation during this period demonstrate reduced engagement in rehabilitation and poorer long-term functional outcomes. Agitation also poses a risk to staff and patient safety. Research for the effects of pharmacological intervention for managing agitation during this period is inconclusive. Thus, synthesis of the research for non-pharmacological interventions for reducing agitation during post-traumatic amnesia is essential for improving long-term outcomes for survivors of traumatic brain injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Inclusion criteria:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Studies will be considered if they include participants aged 16 years and older who exhibit agitated behaviors during post-traumatic amnesia after sustaining a traumatic brain injury (irrespective of severity or mechanism). Studies will be considered if they evaluate any non-pharmacological intervention for reducing agitation, with all types of comparators accepted. Primary outcomes of interest include a change in agitation severity and any adverse effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Key information sources include MEDLINE Ovid SP interface, PubMed, CINAHL, Excerpta Medica Database, PsycINFO, and Cochrane CENTRAL.
