KD feasibility for post-concussionThe Ketogenic Diet in the Treatment of Post-concussion Syndrome-A Feasibility Study.
We assessed the potential of a ketogenic diet (KD) in managing post-concussion syndrome (PCS) symptoms through a pilot study involving fourteen participants. Over two months, participants followed a KD supplemented with medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil.
While we noted some improvements in symptoms related to visual memory and overall PCS scores, the changes weren't statistically significant. One individual experienced nausea tied to MCT oil and withdrew, highlighting the need for careful monitoring.
Overall, this study suggests that while a KD may be feasible for PCS, more comprehensive trials are necessary to understand its true effectiveness.
