Current standard of care recommends rest for the first 48 h after a concussion. However, research suggests that prolonged rest may lengthen recovery time especially for patients with certain risk profiles. Research indicates that physical activity and behavioral management interventions (sleep, stress management) may enhance recovery. To date, there is limited empirical evidence to inform acute (<72 h) concussion recommendations for physical activity and behavioral management in adolescents.<h4>Objective</h4>To determine the effectiveness of physical activity and behavioral management for acute concussion in adolescents and young adults, and to evaluate the role of patient characteContemporary clinical trialsImplementation of active injury management (AIM) in youth with acute concussion: A randomized controlled trial.PMC10924688U01 CE002939U01 CE002944U01CE002939Thomas DGWaltzman DErpenbach HNelson LDHickey RWHaarbauer-Krupa JMcCrea MACollins MWPatterson CGKontos APfalseImplementation of active injury management (AIM) in youth with acute concussion: A randomized controlled trial.<h4>Background</h4>Nearly 2 million youth seek acute medical care following concussion in the U.S. each year.
