Studies were selected and appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools. Data was extracted from the included studies and qualitatively synthesized.<h4>Results</h4>Eleven studies were included in the synthesis. There was variability in the methods used to measure ANS function between studies, and sample populations and time to assessment following concussion varied considerably. There was also variability in the direction of change of ANS function bThe Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association246-268https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10814701biostudies-literatureAutonomic nervous system dysfunction in pediatric sport-related concussion: a systematic review.PMC10814701Hogg-Johnson SParks AfalseAutonomic nervous system dysfunction in pediatric sport-related concussion: a systematic review.<h4>Objective</h4>To identify, appraise and synthesize the evidence of autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction following sport-related concussion in pediatric populations.<h4>Methods</h4>A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE (Ovid), SportDiscus (EBSCO), CINAHL (EBSCO), EMBASE (Ovid) and PsycINFO (Ovid).
