A Prospective Pilot Study of Anxiety Sensitivity and Adolescent Sports-Related Concussion.

CONCLUSION: Higher AS moderated the relationship between injury type (concussion vs. musculoskeletal injury) and the total number of initial symptoms reported by adolescent participants, with every unit increase in AS yielding a four-unit increase in initial symptoms reporting. Previous research has shown that elevated initial symptom scores are a strong predictor of protracted recovery in concussion. AS is amenable to brief treatment interventions. It is a potential early target for treatment intervention following diagnosis of adolescent SRC. PMID: 33313753 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
