An article in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that the risk of suicide in patients ages 5-24 increased after sustaining a concussion.

A study found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can alleviate cognitive symptoms associated with post-concussion syndrome (PCS) in adults who suffered from mild or moderate traumatic brain injury and PCS as children and who are still dealing with persisting neurocognitive symptoms.

A narrative review in Brain Sciences evaluated 29 studies and found evidence that psilocybin could play a role in recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI).

A retrospective study by Tator et al., published in the Journal of Neurotrauma, examined patients from the Canadian Concussion Centre who sustained concussions with persisting symptoms following motor vehicle crashes.

Having first achieved FDA approval in 2019, Oculogica’s EyeBOX remains the “only FDA-cleared and Health Canada registered diagnostic aid for concussion that does not require a pre-injury baseline test.” The new FDA label allows providers to use the EyeBOX to monitor a patient’s recovery over time by comparing the patient’s recovery to normative data.

People who take part in these sports might think they are in control of the risks, but brain injuries can happen fast and change a person’s life forever. These injuries can cause immediate death or lead to lifelong disabilities that affect every part of a person’s life. Many people who get hurt by perfect brain injury delivery systems say they had no idea how bad it could be until it was too late.

In a significant paradigm shift, 50 years in the making, 94 experts from 14 countries have proposed a new, multidimensional framework for classifying traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Since our May 1 article, CDC’s Entire Traumatic Brain Injury Team Eliminated, President Trump has sent his 2026 budget request to Congress, and it includes the elimination of the budget for the CDC’s TBI team.

On April 1, the entire 5-person traumatic brain injury (TBI) team at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the team responsible for the Heads Up concussion resources, online courses, and the National Concussion Surveillance System, got an email: their jobs had been furloughed due to the President’s order, and they were to vacate the office that day.

Concussion Alliance Co-founder and CEO Conor Gormally and Co-founder and CEO Malayka Gormally made a presentation, "Concussion Alliance: Creating Accessible Patient-Facing Resources," for the Canadian Concussion Centre Zoom Webinar Series. Conor and Malayka were interviewed by Lesley A. Ruttan, PhD, C.Psych, a registered psychologist with Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (TRI)/University Health Network (UHN).

MDMA-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT) holds promise as a transformative approach to neurorehabilitation for military service members with neurological injuries, according to a review published in NeuroRehabilitation.

A recent study investigated the relationship between electric biking (e-biking) and high-impact head injuries. Niklas H Koehne et al. found that, in the past decade, the incidence of head injuries due to e-bike accidents has significantly increased, as did the severity of the injuries. 

On January 13th, 2025, Concussion Alliance Co-founder and CEO Conor Gormally presented to the class of 2nd-year medical school students at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Vallejo, California.

A New York Times article highlights a confidential Navy project––code-named Project Odin’s Eye. Project Odin’s Eye, launched last year to study brain injuries in Navy SEALs exposed to repetitive blasts, aims to determine whether flying fighter jets poses significant risks to brain health.

A recent retrospective review conducted by McPherson et al. revealed that recovery took more than seven times as long for individuals with concussions due to work or vehicle accidents compared to those with concussions due to sports.

A recent study provides compelling evidence that the risk of developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) increases cumulatively with each year of ice hockey play, similar to findings observed in American football and rugby league players.

A recent New York Times article has brought greater attention to the use of ibogaine, a psychedelic derived from the bark of iboga trees, as a growing treatment for US veterans suffering from symptoms of brain injury and PTSD.

A study highlights that the co-occurrence of concussion and depression is “associated with significantly worse symptoms for both conditions.” Despite overlapping symptoms, these conditions are often treated independently, overlooking their additive effects.
