Summary
This study is being conducted to determine the clinical safety and efficacy of Pro-2-Cool mediated head and neck cooling when applied after concussion and improved symptomatology among adolescent athletes as quantified by post-concussion symptom severity (PCSS) score.

Conditions
Interventions
Pro2Cool Device
The Pro2Cool Device is a non-invasive hypothermic therapy ("cold therapy") device that provides localized cooling of the head and neck. Water and isopropyl alcohol cooled to 6°C by the chiller assembly circulate through the cooling garment to create conductive heat transfer from the scalp and carotid arteries, thus achieving cooling of the brain.
Sham Cooling Garment Device
The sham cooling garment device will be placed with impaired cooling function (only to the head), with sham treatment temperature being set to 19°C (instead of the therapeutic 6°C specification). There will be no thermal nylon barrier that will be used and flow to the neck bladder will be closed.
