Which Sport Causes the Most Concussions?
Football, hockey, wrestling, rugby, soccer, or combat sports?
The answer depends on how you measure the risk. But one sport stands out in U.S. high-school concussion data.

We argue our concerns regarding concussion products and “tech” actually reducing/stopping #concussion), the lack of rigour in research design, and results being spun by savvy marketing & endorsements from athletes. Improving the science will improve concussion mitigation.

Is It All in Your Head? Placebo Effects in Concussion Prevention.

With Prof James Smoliga, Prof Chris Bleakley, and me

Title of my co-authored study in Sports Medicine Journal. Summary of my study. Text below Sports-related concussions (SRCs) are a major health issue in athletes of varying ages, ability levels, and sports. Concerns over the short- and long-term consequences of SRCs have incentivized a wealth of products and policies aimed at reducing SRC risk. Research suggesting the effectiveness of such interventions at reducing SRCs has facilitated their adoption by sports organizations and, in some cases, product commercialization. However, the body of SRC mitigation research is almost entirely devoid of placebo or sham groups, which raises important questions about the true clinical effectiveness of these interventions. This Current Opinion explores the plausibility of placebo effects within the scope of SRC prevention, describes why the lack of placebo/sham groups in the current body of literature is problematic, and provides recommendations for including placebo/sham groups in future SRC research.
