US EditionHead trauma linked to tragic outcomes
- A study published in the Journal of Athletic Training on April 29, 2025, led by Kyoko Shirahata, found that adolescents with ADHD who experience concussions require more time before returning to academic and athletic activities compared to their peers without ADHD.
- This longer recovery stems from ADHD athletes' higher susceptibility to concussion and slower return times compared to non-ADHD peers, with female athletes also showing extended recovery periods.
- The study tracked 935 concussed athletes from 60 high schools and found ADHD athletes took about 16% longer to return to class, while females took around 13% longer than males.
- The director of the Concussion Center at the University of Michigan highlighted that healthcare providers should acknowledge ADHD as a factor contributing to extended concussion recovery times and offer appropriate anticipatory advice.
- The findings imply that health providers should address extended concussion recovery timelines especially for younger female athletes with ADHD, as delays may affect sports participation and academics.
