The cumulative effects of a collegiate athletic career on general health measures: findings from the CARE Consortium
CONCLUSIONS: Lifetime concussion history is associated with self-reported health outcomes at institutional-exit, though small effect sizes suggest limited clinical consequence. Higher contact-exposure sports and increased YoP were associated with improved scores on some clinical measures. Further longitudinal monitoring is encouraged to evaluate health-related changes over time, to support student-athletes as they transition out of collegiate […]
Symptoms of Allodynia and Pain Thresholds Amongst Those with Acute Post-Traumatic Headache Attributed to Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Prospective, Longitudinal Study
Background Post-traumatic headache (PTH) is a common acute and persistent symptom following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Symptoms of cutaneous allodynia and presence of nociceptive sensitization might be associated with acute PTH and its persistence. The objectives of this study were to compare allodynia symptoms and cutaneous heat pain thresholds amongst males and females with […]
Efficacy of Methylphenidate in Patients With Brain Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of methylphenidate in patients with brain disease. A comprehensive search up to November 4, 2024 identified 33 randomized controlled trials involving 1,369 participants with traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), other dementias, and multiple sclerosis. Methylphenidate was administered at 10-80 […]
Blast-Related Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Case Report Highlighting the Long-Term Neurocognitive Sequelae Following Blast Exposure in Veterans
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant public health concern, particularly among military service members exposed to blast-related trauma. While mild TBIs often resolve within weeks, a subset of patients may experience lifelong, persistent, debilitating symptoms. We report a case of a previously healthy male combat medic who sustained a blast-related traumatic brain injury during […]
Smooth Pursuit Velocity After a Season of Repetitive Head Impacts in American Football Players
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this study, smooth pursuit eye movement velocity was not affected during a single season of contact sports. Group differences suggest existing deficits before the season begins, possibly due to prior contact sport history. Interpretations should be tempered by the small sample size, single institution used for data collection, and the exploratory […]
