“…2 There are many published statements that discuss the importance of "cognitive rest" following a concussion. [3][4][5] Cognitive rest refers to avoiding potential cognitive stressors, such as texting, video games, TV exposure, and schoolwork, as examples. However, to date, there is no research documenting the benefits or harm of these methods in either the prolongation of symptoms or the ultimate outcome for the student following a concussion.…”

Following a concussion, it is common for children and adolescents to experience difficulties in the school setting. Cognitive difficulties, such as learning new tasks or remembering previously learned material, may pose challenges in the classroom. The school environment may also increase symptoms with exposure to bright lights and screens or noisy cafeterias and hallways. Unfortunately, because most children and adolescents look physically normal after a concussion, school officials often fail to recognize the need for academic or environmental adjustments. Appropriate guidance and recommendations from the pediatrician may ease the transition back to the school environment and facilitate the recovery of the child or adolescent. This report serves to provide a better understanding of possible factors that may contribute to difficulties in a school environment after a concussion and serves as a framework for the medical home, the educational home, and the family home to guide the student to a successful and safe return to learning.

“…13 Recently, the scientific community has increased its attention towards the sequelae of sport-related concussions. [14][15] The effectiveness of various means of head protection, however, remains unclear. Whereas helmets do reduce the risk of moderate to severe head injuries, current helmet designs may not prevent concussion.…”

Résumé -Introduction :La commotion cérébrale dans le sport ou Sport-Related Concussion (SRC) est un processus complexe se traduisant par un trouble de fonctionnement du cerveau. Son incidence ne cesse d'augmenter car la mise en place de mesures efficaces de prévention achoppe sur les zones d'incertitude entourant les SRC (diagnostic, traitements, etc.). Revue de littérature : Dans les années 1960, certains auteurs ont avancé l'hypothèse que le port d'un protège-dents ou protection intrabuccale (PIB) permettrait de prévenir la survenue de SRC. Depuis, des études confirmant ou infirmant cette hypothèse sont régulièrement publiées. Une analyse de la littérature permet de comprendre cette controverse et de distinguer ce qui est avéré de ce qui est supposé. Conclusion : Actuellement, sur la base d'arguments scientifiques, le port de PIB ne peut et ne doit pas être recommandé dans la prévention des SRC. La surestimation des effets protecteurs de la PIB risquerait d'engendrer une augmentation des comportements à risque chez les sportifs qui se sentiraient protégés alors qu'ils ne le seraient pas et ainsi d'augmenter paradoxalement la survenue de SRC. En revanche, l'efficacité des PIB dans la prévention des lésions oro-faciales étant scientifiquement prouvée, c'est à cette fin qu'elles doivent être recommandées pour la pratique sportive.Abstract -Investigation of the use of a mouthguard for decreasing the incidence and/or severity of sportrelated concussions. Introduction: Concussion in sport, so-called sport-related concussion (SRC), is a complex pathophysiological process resulting in the impairment of the brain. Its incidence is increasing due to the uncertainty surrounding SRC (diagnosis, management, etc.). Literature review: In the 1960's, some authors put forth the hypothesis that the use of a mouthguard could prevent the occurrence of SRC. Since then, many studies confirming or invalidating this hypothesis have been published regularly. An analysis of the literature allows us to understand this situation and distinguish between what is proven and what is supposed. Conclusion: Currently, on the basis of the scientific evidence, the use of a mouthguard cannot and must not be recommended for the prevention of SRC. The overestimation of the protective effects of a mouthguard can lead to an increase in risk behaviours in sportspeople, who feel protected while they are not. This can result in a paradoxical increase in SRC. However, mouthguards have been shown to be effective in preventing dental and orofacial injuries. For this reason, mouthguards should continue to be recommended and used in sport activities.
