A six-year study in the Journal of Neurotrauma explored the impact of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) on concussion recovery in adolescents and young adults.

A recent literature review conducted by Danielle DuPlessis et al. investigated the use of multi-domain assessments in tracking the recovery from concussion in both sports-related and military contexts. The study, published in Physical Therapy in Sport, found a strong preference for dual-task assessments, specifically, combinations of walking on a level surface while the participant answered questions.

A recent study in the Journal of Athletic Training explored the role of mental health in predicting lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries (LE MSK) after sports-related concussions in NCAA student-athletes. Previous research has found that the rate of LE MSK is elevated post-concussion, although the cause of this increased rate is unknown. In addition, poorer mental health is common post-concussion.
