Study Summary
The purpose is to test how osteopathic medicine (OMM) improves recovery after a hit to the head during Mixed Martials Arts (MMA). The small changes in the bone, joints, and fluids during head injuries may lead to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The OMM is adjusting the body with the doctors' hands. The goal is to restore alignment and release tension. The head is treated with the doctors' hands placed gently on the head or face. It was previously found to improve symptoms and recovery of memory after head injuries in college athletes. There haven't been clinical trials of this procedure in MMA fighters. Yet, they often get injuries to the part of the brain that releases hormones. Referrals for tests for the hormones are available. Individuals who participate in MMA fighting or sparring matches may join this study. Those who don't get hit in the head or a concussion will contribute to our understanding the osteopathic structural physical exam and fluid dynamics of the head in relation to brain function tests. Those who get hit in the head may be put in the treatment procedure or sham-placebo group. Participants will not be told which group they are in. We anticipate that 100 individuals of any gender will enroll in this study at NYIT Academic Health Care Center (AHCC). To be in this study, the participant must: Part 1 - Before the fight: 1. Plan to participate in an MMA fight or sparring match, 2. 18 to 50 years of age, 3. Be able to do online cognitive neuropsychology tests for memory, reaction time, and symptoms. Part-2-After the fight: (1) Have been hit in the head, or had a head injury, during a fight The participant cannot be in this study if they have: Part 1- Before the fight: 1. a current or previous spinal cord injury, 2. a traumatic brain injury within the past six months, 3. inability to tolerate the sports physical, 4. a diagnosis of brain degeneration, 5. low hormones levels from the brain, 6. Pregnancy Participants won't get referred for hormone te
