Concussion Clinical Profiles Screening (CP Screen) Tool: Preliminary Evidence to Inform a Multidisciplinary Approach.

Background: Current concussion symptom inventories emphasize total number or symptoms and severity and overlap with other conditions, such as mental health disorders, which may limit their specificity and clinical utility.

Objective: To develop and test the reliability and validity of a new Concussion Clinical Profiles Screening tool (CP Screen) in both healthy controls and concussed.

Methods: CP Screen is a 29-item self-report, clinical profile-based symptom inventory that measures the following 5 concussion clinical profiles: 1) anxiety/mood, 2) cognitive/fatigue, 3) migraine, 4) ocular, and 5) vestibular; and the following 2 modifying factors: 1) sleep and 2) neck.

Reliability and Associated Risk Factors for Performance on the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) Tool in Healthy Collegiate Athletes.

Background: The Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) is a newly developed screening tool that evaluates vestibular and ocular motor symptom (eg, headache, dizziness, nausea, fogginess) provocation after a sport-related concussion. Baseline data on the VOMS are needed to extend the application of this measure to broad age groups and to document normal variations in performance.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the internal consistency of the VOMS in a large sample of healthy, nonconcussed collegiate athletes.
