Trauma Exposure Across the Lifespan Is Associated With Persistent Mild TBI Symptoms in US Military Veterans
CONCLUSION: These findings support the inclusion of comprehensive lifetime trauma assessment in chronic mTBI rehabilitation conceptualizations and underscore the potentially prominent role that psychological stressors play in the persistence of mTBI sequelae.
Psychological Health of Female Service Members and Veterans Associated With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury History: A LIMBIC-CENC Study
CONCLUSIONS: FSMVs with ≥1 mTBI history reported greater psychological symptoms than those without. Among FSMVs with lifetime mTBI history, combat-mTBI history was associated with worse PTSD, life satisfaction, and anxiety symptoms. Our findings indicate that a single mTBI, notably combat-related, may adversely impact psychological health, but future research is necessary for longitudinal, comprehensive FSMV health […]
A preliminary study on the prevalence of mental health symptoms in current and former elite kickboxers and their possible association with severe musculoskeletal injuries and concussions
CONCLUSIONS: The substantial prevalence rates of mental health symptoms among current and former elite kickboxers emphasize the need for increased attention in this area. No associations were found between the potential contributing factors and mental health symptoms among current and former elite kickboxers. While further research is needed, raising awareness as well as developing preventive […]
Test-Retest Reliability of the Blast Exposure Threshold Survey in United States Service Members and Veterans
The Blast Exposure Threshold Survey (BETS) is a recently developed measure of lifetime blast exposure. Although promising, it is considered a fundamental tenet to establish that the BETS (and other measures like it) have good psychometric properties before it can be recommended for clinical use. The purpose of this study was to examine the test-retest […]
Clinical Outcomes in the Patient With Traumatic Brain Injury and Comorbid Obesity: A Scoping Review
Very few studies exist examining the effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in patients with obesity, which is notable given that mTBI represents ~80% of all recorded TBIs. Given that approximately 40% of US adults have an obese body mass index (with predictions that this proportion will continue to increase), it would be prudent […]
