  Abstract Objective Sports-related concussions (SRC) often affect vision function and cognition, two components frequently assessed as part of a multimodal post-injury evaluation. The purpose of the study was to examine contributions of measures of vision function and cognition toward understanding recovery time. Method Participants were 593 (37.6% female) adolescents ages 10–18 (M = 14.7, SD = 1.7) who were evaluated and diagnosed with a concussion within 10 days of injury. Participants were administered the King-Devick (KD) test via KD cards to assess rapid number naming speed and the ImPACT test to assess post-concussion symptoms and neurocognitive test performance. The primary outcome was number of weeks (M = 3.2, SD = 1.9) until participants were cleared to return to play by the treating physician based on a standardized protocol. Results Poorer performance on the King-Devick test was significantly correlated with higher symptom severity (r = .41, p < .001), and poorer performance on ImPACT Verbal Memory (r = −.46, p < .001), Visual Memory (r = −.39, p < .001), Visual Motor Speed (r = −55, p < .001), and Reaction Time (r = .47, p < .001) composites. Poorer KD scores were also significantly correlated with a longer time to recovery (r = .23, p < .001). Importantly, poorer KD scores continued to significantly predict protracted recovery time after controlling for age, gender, time to initial physician evaluation, prior history of concussion, post-concussion symptom severity, and neurocognitive test performance (β = .12, p < .05). Conclusions Performance on King-Devick testing predicted recovery time, even after controlling for important demographic/injury characteristics and cognitive testing. Evaluation of vision function is an important component of post-injury assessment for SRC.

  Background: The Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) are mental health screening instruments that assess symptoms of depression and anxiety. Studies of patients with concussion suggest that history of mental illness is associated with prolonged recovery; however, little research has examined the value of these tools in a concussed pediatric population (Iverson et al., 2017). Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relation between anxiety and depression symptoms, mental illness history, sex, and time to recover in a concussed pediatric population. We hypothesized that mental health symptoms and history, and female sex would predict longer recoveries in the pediatric population. Methods: IRB-approved retrospective chart review was used for data collection. Demographics, self-reported mental health history, GAD-7, and PHQ-9 scores were acquired for 250 adolescents ages 12-18 (45.2% female) who presented to an outpatient concussion clinic for their initial visit. Days to recover was imputed for all patients who had been discharged by clinic physicians based on international return to play standards. Results: Mann-Whitney U tests were used for analysis of this nonnormally distributed data. Males were found to recover more quickly than females (female median = 15 days, IQR 7-27; male median = 12 days, IQR 6-23; p=.013). No significant differences were observed in days to clearance based on reported history of mental health disorder (p=.066). Individuals who scored above cutoff (see Kroenke et al., 2001; Spitzer et al., 2006) on the GAD-7 (below cutoff median = 12.00 days; above cutoff median = 21.00 days) and PHQ-9 (below cutoff median = 23.5 days; above cutoff median = 57.00 days) required longer recovery times (p

  Combat sports are growing in popularity, viewership, and participation. The nature of these sports involves repetitive head contact, yet unlike most other professional contact sports, there are no endorsed guidelines or mandates for graduated and systematic return to play following concussion. Here, we review the literature related to concussion and fighting sports, and propose guidelines for concussion management and safe return to play following concussion.

  Changes in cognitive function are a well established risk of anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL). Deficits in verbal memory are a common postoperative finding, though a small proportion of patients may improve. Postoperative evaluation typically occurs after six to 12months. Patients may benefit from earlier evaluation to identify potential needs; however, the results of a formal neuropsychological assessment at an early postoperative stage are not described in the literature. We compared pre- and postoperative cognitive function for 28 right ATL and 23 left ATL patients using repeated measures ANOVA. Changes in cognitive function were compared to ILAE seizure outcome. The mean time to postoperative neuropsychological testing was 11.1weeks (SD=6.7weeks). There was a side×surgery interaction for the verbal tasks: immediate memory recall (F(1,33)=20.68, p

  Objective Researchers evaluated the effect of manualized treatments for depression on comorbid symptoms of insomnia. Method Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze archival data collected from 14 studies (N = 910) examining the efficacy of psychological treatments for depression in adults. Results Participants receiving a psychological treatment for depression experienced significantly more relief from symptoms of insomnia with overall, early-, middle-, and late-night sleep than those not receiving such treatment. Conclusion Symptoms of insomnia in those with an average (or lower) level of depression can be reduced through psychological treatment for depression. However, more severe depressive symptoms do not receive great relief from sleep disturbance and may require an additional treatment component targeting symptoms of insomnia.

  Over the past decade, research has increased scientific and public knowledge about the importance of identification and proper management of concussion. These concerns have prompted many state, regional, and private organizations to mandate the creation of, and strict adherence to, concussion management protocols, particularly with regard to sport-related concussion and subsequent return to play. Because of the individualized nature of the concussive injury and its recovery, a multidisciplinary approach provides comprehensive patient care that best addresses treatment and management of changing symptoms and their impact on multiple aspects of a patient's life and overall function. The current report will explore a model of multidisciplinary concussion management from program establishment and baseline testing to recovery from chronic postconcussion symptoms.

  The purpose of this two-study project was to determine the effects of cognitive bibliotherapy for the treatment of depressive symptoms in jail and prison inmates. Participants in both samples were randomly assigned to either a treatment group that received the 4-week bibliotherapy program or a delayed-treatment control group. In the jail sample, which served as a pilot study for the more detailed prison study, the treatment group showed greater improvement on the A. T. Beck and R. A. Steer Beck Depression Inventory, 1993, Psychological Corporation, San Antonio, TX and the DAS (M. M. Weissman, & A. T. Beck Development and validation of the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale: A preliminary investigation; paper presented at the meeting of the American Educational Research Association, November, 1978, Toronto, ON, Canada). In the prison sample, results indicated that the treatment group showed greater improvement on the HRSD (M. Hamilton, Development of a rating scale for primary depressive illness, British Journal of Social & Clinical Psychology, Vol. 6, 1967, pp. 278-296) and the A. T. Beck, R. A. Steer, & G. K. Brown Beck Depression Inventory (2nd ed.), 1996, Psychological Corporation, San Antonio, TX. Approximately half of the treated participants achieved clinically significant change. Analyses of the follow-up data revealed maintenance of treatment gains in the prison and jail samples. In the prison study, significant changes were also observed on a general measure of psychological distress. Overall, results suggest that cognitive bibliotherapy may be efficacious for depressed inmates.

  OBJECTIVE: While demographic (e.g., age, gender) and environmental factors (e.g., motivation) have been established as modifying factors for baseline testing performance, sleep duration has recently piqued the interest of researchers. Athletes sleeping less than 7 hours prior to baseline testing performed worse, although clinical relevance of these miniscule differences is debatable. METHOD: The goal of this study is to determine if sleep restriction (9 hours), in a sample of athletes (N = 9, 083) aged 12-21 (M = 15.69 years). RESULTS: 5.2% of the sample slept less than 5 hours at baseline. After controlling for gender and age, a MANCOVA revealed group differences across all composites of ImPACT: verbal memory (F = 22.07, p CONCLUSION(S): Reduced sleep appears to have a dose response on baseline neurocognitive testing, although long sleepers also demonstrate reduced performance. These differences may be negligible in a majority of cases in clinical practice. acn;29/6/593-a/ACU038F7F1ACU038F7. Language: en

  Symptom reports play a critical role in the assessment and management of concussions. Symptoms are often conceptualized as factors comprising several related symptoms (eg, somatic factor = headache, nausea, vomiting). Previous research examining the factor structure of the 22-item Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) has been limited to small samples and has not adequately evaluated factor loadings at both baseline and postconcussion for male and female athletes at the high school and collegiate levels.

  The severity of sports-related concussion is often characterized by the number and severity of postconcussive symptoms (eg, headache, dizziness, difficulty concentrating). Although the level of postconcussive symptoms after injury is believed to index the severity of the neurological insult sustained, studies examining the relationship between symptom severity and neural functioning in concussed athletes remain rare.

  The objective of this study was to examine differences in neurocognitive performance between symptomatic concussed athletes, a group of concussed athletes with no subjective symptoms, and a non-concussed control group of athletes. All concussed athletes were evaluated within one week of injury using the ImPACT computerized test battery. Results indicate that concussed athletes who denied subjective symptoms demonstrated poorer performance than control subjects on all four composite scores of the ImPACT test batters (Verbal Memory, Visual Memory, Reaction Time and Processing Speed However, the concussed but asymptomatic group demonstrated significantly better performance than did the concussed and symptomatic group. Thus, concussed athletes who did not report subjective symptoms were not fully recovered based on neurocognitive testing. This study underscores the importance of neurocognitive testing in the assessment of concussion sequelae and recovery.

Effectiveness of mouthguards in reducing neurocognitive deficits following sports-related cerebral concussion. Dental traumatology : official publication of International Association for Dental Traumatology, 23(1), 14-20.
  More info

  Although it is widely accepted that mouthguards decrease the incidence of dental injuries, there is a controversy among sports medicine professionals as to the effectiveness of mouthguards in decreasing the incidence or severity of sports-related cerebral concussion (SRCC). While some experimental data suggest that this may be the case, there exist a number of reports suggesting that mouthguards do not serve this purpose. These conclusions have been drawn, however, without actually measuring the extent of neurocognitive dysfunction in athletes following sports-related concussion. The purpose of this study was to determine whether mouthguard use reduces the neurocognitive and symptomatic impairments that follow an injurious episode of SRCC. Preseason baseline data were collected as part of an ongoing clinical program that uses a computerized neurocognitive test to assess various faculties of brain function and symptoms reported at the time of testing. Follow-up testing from 180 student-athletes who had sustained an SRCC was analyzed for the purpose of this study. These athletes were separated into one of two groups: those who reported using mouthguards and those who did not. Neurocognitive testing was accomplished using the Immediate Post-Concussion and Assessment Test (ImPACT). Results suggest that neurocognitive deficits at the time of the athletes' first follow-up assessment did not differ between mouthguard users and non-users, suggesting that mouthguard use does little to reduce the severity of neurocognitive dysfunction and onset of symptoms following sports-related head trauma. However, an interesting finding in this study was that athletes experienced significantly lower neurocognitive test scores and reported higher symptom scores following SRCC regardless of mouthguard use. This emphasizes a thorough clinical evaluation of athletes that have sustained an SRCC. Although it was found in this study that mouthguard use does not decrease the severity of concussion, it is important to note that the use of mouthguards is paramount in reducing maxillofacial and dental trauma and their use should continue to be mandated by athletic associations and supported by all dental and sports medicine professionals.
