Post-concussion screen time duration and type and its association with symptom resolution in youth aged 11-17 years

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between screen time duration and type during the first week post-concussion and the time to symptom resolution in youth aged 11-17 years. They found that moderate screen time of approximately 141 minutes per day was associated with a faster rate of symptom resolution compared to both lower and higher screen time levels. The study suggests that clinicians might recommend a balanced level of screen use rather than complete avoidance to aid in recovery from concussion.
