Abstract

This article focuses on an observational study examining the impact of pre-morbid migraines on concussion recovery time. The retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 1,303 patients diagnosed with concussions at a sports medicine clinic, including 91 with pre-morbid migraines, using assessments such as the Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening test (VOMS), King-Devick Test, C3 Trails A/B/AB, and Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS). Results showed that while patients with pre-morbid migraines had significantly higher PCSS scores at their initial visit, there was no significant difference in recovery time or other measured outcomes compared to those without migraines. The study concludes that pre-morbid migraines do not affect concussion recovery duration, suggesting further research is needed on how elevated initial symptom scores relate to headache presentation during recovery.
