One tool used by medical professionals is the Glasgow Coma Scale. It is a 15-point scale used by all sorts of medical professionals to evaluate a patient for level of consciousness and brain function following a head injury. A score of 13-15 in a patient with a head injury is generally considered to show a mild or minor brain injury classification. A score of 9 to 12 is moderate. A score below 9 indicates a severe brain injury.
