Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

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
* Non-sports related concussion not incurred while participating in the sport or training for the sport. As an example, a student-athlete who sustains a concussion as a result of a motor vehicle accident will be excluded from the study for that concussion.
* A previous concussion within the last 12 months.
* Any concussion that is complicated by a cranial bleed, skull fracture, additional severe injury (e.g. torn knee ligament) that might affect the return to normal activities above and beyond the sport-related concussion.
* If the student athlete is cognitively impaired to a level that prevents verbal communication, the consent will be deemed 'opted out' and the student-athlete will not be enrolled in the study.
