Post-concussion screen time duration and type and its association with symptom resolution in youth aged 11–17 years

Published in British Journal of Sports Medicine · View the paper (DOI)

A study of 80 concussed teens found that moderate screen time in the first 3 days after a concussion is linked to faster recovery. The researchers analyzed data and found that an average of 141 minutes of daily screen time sped up symptom resolution by 35%. Balanced use, rather than total avoidance, may be helpful for concussion recovery.
