Magnesium and Riboflavin for Post-Concussion Headache
This study is looking into whether taking magnesium and riboflavin supplements can help reduce how bad and how long headaches last after a concussion. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 40 years old, have been diagnosed with a concussion at the University of Virginia Student Health and Wellness Center or Emergency Department less than 3 days ago, and can swallow capsules. We are hoping to see a decrease in headache intensity and duration after 14 days. The current recruitment status is unclear, but the study plans to enroll 108 people.
