MEG measured delta waves increase in adolescents after concussion.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The purpose of this study is to determine if delta waves, measured by magnetoencephalography (MEG), increase in adolescents due to a sports concussion.

Methods

Twenty-four adolescents (age 14-17) completed pre- and postseason MRI and MEG scanning. MEG whole-brain delta power was calculated for each subject and normalized by the subject's total power. In eight high school football players diagnosed with a concussion during the season (mean age = 15.8), preseason delta power was subtracted from their postseason scan. In eight high school football players without a concussion (mean age = 15.7), preseason delta power was subtracted from postseason delta power and in eight age-matched noncontact controls (mean age = 15.9), baseline delta power was subtracted from a 4
