Abstract
Identifying factors that influence the risk and recovery from sport-related concussion (SRC) has become an important part of the clinical management of the injury. Consensus statements and clinical anecdotes have suggested several factors (i.e., history of migraine headaches) that may increase risk or lead to a protracted recovery from SRC. In the current paper, we will present evidence supporting primary and secondary risk factors listed in current consensus statements and relevant literature on emerging factors proposed to influence SRC risk and recovery.
