Assessment of the Efficacy of Medrol Dose Pack for Acute Post-Concussive Headaches

Sponsor: Northwell Health

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This novel pilot project will assess the effectiveness of corticosteroids in treatment of acute post-concussion headache. The investigators hypothesize that the use of corticosteroids will cause significant headache reduction in frequency and/or intensity than individuals who undergo the current standard of care. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that corticosteroid use will lead to a reduction in other somatic symptoms including vestibular symptoms, leading to quicker return to school, work, and/or ability to play sports.
