I got a head injury / concussion that put me out of working out and exercise for 5 months and now I have been diagnosed with POTS and I'm still trying to figure out my other health issues. It's pretty annoying and I'm hoping my symptoms don't get much worse and my head is able to figure itself out. I have pretty normal blood pressure it's just my headrate jumps from 50-60 to 90-100.

Hello Dr.Marshall. I am delighted to have found your videos. After doing a certain back exercise involving a backward movement, (which incidentally I've done for years) I lost all balance and control to right myself. Falling backward I hit my head against a bedroom wall which is concrete! Very painful and the discovery of a large egg sized lump on the top of my head. This soon spread to a size I could cup in the palm of my hand. I am 80 years old and live alone, but quite fit and well, on no medications. Briefly, a bag of frozen peas and lots of stern and positive affirmations to my head, etc. An extremely bad night, lots of pain, but since I don't take pain killers I survived! That was 2 weeks ago. Still a small lump, but the very severe vertigo I had in the beginning has gone. Some dizziness, and so encouraged by your advice about repeating those moves and not a long period of no exercise followed by a "set" of exercises. So contrary to years ago. I didn't go to a doctor, as women my age would have done - foolish? mmm I don't think so. I had to have a medical in April to renew my licence, and I passed with flying colours. I shall continue to check out your videos, and following the non inflammatory foods.

The summary below of a 2018 study is posted in the Q-Collar website. It sounds like this study is the same or very similar as the study the doctor in the video suggested. Players with and without the Q-Collar had accelerometers in their helmets to measure impacts and they had pre and post season brain scans to determine changes in brain matter. I am certainly no experts on concussions or brain damage, but this sounds like a well designed study to me. The methods seem sound and the sample size is robust for this type of device study. The FDA approved the Q-Collar device based on the results of this study, which is a huge accomplishment. I was in pharmaceuticals for 23 years, so I know how incredibly difficult it is to get FDA approval for medications and medical devices. VII. FOOTBALL PIVOTAL TRIAL (2018) The pivotal study that resulted in FDA approval, utilized a prospective controlled trial to evaluate the effects of mild jugular vein compression (n=142 collar/intervention device) relative to controls (n=142 non-collar controls) during a competitive football season. Magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from participants pre- and postseason and head impact exposure was monitored by accelerometers during every practice and game throughout the competitive season. Athletes’ accumulated head impact exposure was systematically thresholded based on the frequency of impacts of progressively higher magnitudes (10g intervals between 20 to 150g) and modeled with pre- to postseason changes in DTI measures of white matter as a function of jugular vein compression (JVC) neck collar wear. The findings revealed that the JVC neck collar modulated the relationships between greater high-magnitude head impact exposure (110 to 140g) and longitudinal changes to white matter, with each group showing associations that varied in directionality. Results also revealed that 77% of the collar wearing athletes did not have significant changes to their white matter of the brain, while 73% of the non-collar wearing athletes had significant changes. Importantly, there were no reported adverse events. Collectively, these data indicate that a JVC neck collar can provide a mechanistic response to the diffusion and anisotropic properties of brain white matter following the highly diverse exposure to repetitive head impacts in American tackle football.

Yes, but the problem is in the form of measurement - you'll notice that in all of their communications/marketing and likely in the FDA approval (which I haven't looked at) you likely won't find any verbiage around protecting against concussion. They'll say things like "protects the structural integrity of the brain" - which no one really knows what that means so they infer concussion. The evidence on concussion prevention is minimal to non-existent. Secondly, the study you are referring to used Diffusion Tensor Imaging as the modality of choice. In the same paper that this was published there was a commentary by other researchers which challenged the validity of using this modality since we don't know what the findings actually mean - could it be that changes in white matter structure over time actually confer some sort of protective effect? If so, is this device potentially leading to problems downstream that we are not aware of yet? This study specifically talked about "subconcussive impacts" which are next to impossible to define and we don't know if there is any potential effect of the subconcussive range at this time. My only point in this video is that the device does not protect against concussion...It might but that has not been shown in the research.

It appears that since this video has come out they now have put this on their website. I'm curious what you think of the new studies that have occurred since you released this video ""FDA-Cleared” reflects the highest level of review and authorization by the FDA for a non-invasive, low-risk device like the Q-Collar. The FDA reserves use of the word “approved” for high-risk devices, such as a pacemaker. Following its thorough evaluation of the independent research, the FDA announced that the Q-Collar (a Class 2 medical device) safely and effectively “provides an additional piece of protective equipment athletes can wear when playing sports to help protect their brains from the effects of repetitive head impacts.”

Doctor, hello! Such a question has been expressed that the head acceleration force that is used by an athlete is 70-120G to cause a concussion. Given that if an athlete has a higher temperature or weaker muscles, less acceleration is required?
@CompleteConcussions11 күн бұрын
No - the acceleration force is the same - a stiffer neck would just decrease the acceleration forces delivered to the brain and reduce the chances of suffering a concussion - but since most concussions happen when the athlete is unaware that they're about to be hit, usually the neck is not contracted at all.

@@CompleteConcussions I understand you perfectly! But let's simulate this situation, I will outline it at number 1 and number 2 and number 3 1) 1 situation is that a person is standing in sparring and his neck is already, in principle, tense, in this case it protects this for sure 2) 2 situation when a person basically walks with a tense neck, or for example, thanks to neuromuscular connections, he is able to run and activate his neck muscles 3) 3 situation when the most ordinary citizen pumps up the isometric and static muscles of the neck, thanks to which the neck, in principle, stabilizes the head better than the neck of a person who, in principle, has never pumped and stabilized the cervical spine. That is, in principle, having strong and stable muscles that stabilize our head, even statically, we still protect our head and reduce the acceleration force. What can you say on this issue based on my words?
@CompleteConcussions9 күн бұрын
@@user-zi7tu4ep8n 1) if neck is contracted it would be stiffer and would reduce head acceleration (vs. being not contracted) - is it enough to prevent concussion? That depends on how hard they were getting hit and how stable their head was/is. 2) Yes - if the neck is stiffer, the acceleration of the head is reduced - as with number 1 it depends on how stiff it is and how much force is applied 3) This actually makes no difference - the evidence shows that those with the strongest necks don't suffer less force during impact than those with the weakest necks - the reason is that your strength makes no difference UNLESS it is under active contraction prior to impact.

Does severity of concussion and if you lost consciousness have impact on long term? Or is it a non issue?
@CompleteConcussions15 күн бұрын
Most injury specific things tend to be a non-issue. For example, the evidence on loss of consciousness tends to be quite mixed - meaning some studies show prolonged recoveries and others show no difference...the things that are shown to consistently produce persistent symptoms are: 1. Previous history of mental health issues (anxiety/depression) 2. How high your initial symptom severity score was (which is actually more associated with your mental health state and your coping style/skills) 3. How quickly you were in to see a trained concussion provider 4. How quickly you initiated active rehabilitation (i.e., subsymptom threshold exercise and vestibular/ocular/cervical spine) So it's less about the "severity" of the injury but more about how you deal with it as well as your inherent anxiety and coping style. A good concussion provider can help to reduce this anxiety and start early rehabilitation which can basically negate the first two issues and address the second two.

Also, we should take into account the fact, that many concussions occur, when people are not expecting them, when people are relaxed, like in rear-end car accidents for example... Or pretty much any absolutely unexpected accidents. On the other hand, when people fall, for example, many of them ,while in the stage of the actual fall, before the impact , become more tense. That is a protective reflex, we are hardwired with.

Yes there are a number of large studies - some show a link (of repetitive concussions) and others show no link. When it comes to single concussions we don't have much...but if we can't find a strong causal link in those with an extensive concussion history, we can assume that finding a link in those with one concussion will be even more difficult. We have to control for so many variables throughout life that tracing something back to one concussion would be difficult to prove.
