    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Repetitive head trauma in sports can lead to persistent neurological and visual symptoms.
    • Intermittent headaches and vision loss following minor head injuries are debilitating for athletes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of pharmacological intervention for managing post-traumatic headaches and vision loss in a high school football player.
    • To demonstrate a method for controlling symptoms associated with recurrent head trauma in athletes.

    Main Methods:

    • A case study involving a high school football player with a 3-year history of symptoms.
    • Prescription of a medication aimed at preventing symptom onset after head trauma.

    Main Results:

    • The prescribed medication successfully prevented the occurrence of headaches and vision loss.
    • The pharmacological approach effectively controlled the player's pain and visual disturbances.

    Conclusions:

    • Pharmacological management can be a viable strategy for controlling intermittent headaches and vision loss in athletes following head trauma.
    • Early intervention with appropriate medication can significantly improve the quality of life for athletes experiencing post-concussive symptoms.
