The Impact of Riboflavin on the Severity and Duration of Sports Related Concussion

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of riboflavin to decrease the duration of time for a student-athlete to return to participation in sports after a sports related concussion.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All UVa and JMU student-athletes over the age of 18 years old who are diagnosed with a sports related concussion

Exclusion Criteria:

• Less than 18 years old
• Greater than 24 hours have elapsed since the concussion occurred.
• The student-athlete has already participated in the study during which he/she took Riboflavin
