One of our 360NeuroGO members recently posted a thought-provoking question about the impact of flying after a concussion. The physiological and psychological effects of air travel on concussion symptoms have been anecdotally observed, but what does the research say?
In response, we’ve compiled several articles offering insights into this topic. Three of the more recent studies include:
The general consensus among these studies is that there isn’t an immediate threat from flying post-concussion. However, further evidence and research are needed to understand the implications fully. As you can see, the studies primarily focus on athletes. So, not only is more research needed with this specific question but in concussions outside the athletic population!
