flag Blood tests showing brain injury markers may help assess concussion severity in teens, revealing sex-based differences in symptoms.

flag A new study finds blood tests measuring brain-related biomarkers may help assess concussion severity in teenagers, with results showing sex-based differences in how these markers correlate with symptoms. flag Among 339 adolescents aged 11 to 18, higher levels of brain injury markers were linked to more emotional symptoms in girls, while lower levels were tied to greater physical and overall symptoms in boys. flag The findings, published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, suggest biomarkers could support personalized treatment, especially for adolescent females, who often report longer recovery times and are underrepresented in research.
