Abstract

This article focuses on the association between pre-injury anxiety and oculomotor symptoms following concussion among adolescents. The study involved 124 patients aged 10 to 18 who completed assessments for pre-injury anxiety using the Screening for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED-C) and oculomotor function using the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS). A logistic regression model identified dizziness provoked during vertical saccades, female sex, and a self-reported history of depression as modest predictors of panic disorder symptoms post-concussion. The findings suggest that these factors should be considered by clinicians when evaluating adolescents after concussion.
