Study Summary
Adolescent brains undergo rapid and significant changes in structural architecture and functional organization during development. A concussive injury during this developmental period can have substantial physiological and cognitive ramifications. If not adequately managed, adolescent concussions can have profound long-term effects. The purpose of this study is to determine whether ketone supplementation after a concussion will reduce long-term consequences and improve short-term functional status and outcomes in adolescents who have suffered a concussion.
Primary Outcome
SCAT5 is a standardized tool, not a diagnostic tool, physicians can use for assessing concussions. It will be conducted by a licensed healthcare professional as part of standard of care to obtain numerical values for the following: immediate or on-field assessment (red flags, accident details, etc.), symptom evaluation (dizziness, headache, etc.), cognitive screen (memory, concentration), and neurological screen (balance, coordination). This will be conducted when the concussion occurs and at ea
