Hockey players who sustained concussions during a recent season
experienced acute microstructural changes in their brains, according to a
series of studies published in the Journal of Neurosurgery on Tuesday.
.
Weve seen evidence of chronic injuries later in life from head trauma, and
now weve seen this in current players, said Dr. Paul Echlin, an Ontario
sports concussion specialist who conducted the study in collaboration with
Dr. Martha Shenton of Brigham and Womens Hospital and researchers from
Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital and Western
University of Canada.
.
The researchers said these were the first studies in which an independent
medical team used magnetic resonance imaging analysis before, during and
after a season to measure the effects of concussions on athletes.
Forty-five male and female Canadian university hockey players were
observed by independent physicians during the 2011-12 season.
.
All 45 players were given M.R.I. scans before and after the season. The 11
who received a concussion diagnosis during the season were given
additional scans within 72 hours, two weeks and two months of the
incident.
.
The scans found microscopic white matter and inflammatory changes in the
brains of individuals who had sustained a clinically diagnosed concussion
during the period of the study.
.
Additional analysis found that players who sustained a concussion during
the study period or reported a history of concussions showed significant
differences in their brains white matter microstructure compared with
players who did not sustain a concussion, or who reported no history of
concussions.
