Abstract
Advances in research on sports-related concussions have led to updates in diagnostic and management protocols. This article reviews the recommendations from the Sixth International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport (Amsterdam, 2022), focusing on children (ages 8-12) and adolescents (ages 13-18). It highlights preventive strategies, such as identifying risk factors, using protective equipment, implementing regulatory changes, and engaging in neuromuscular training. Up-to-date clinical tools are recommended for identification and monitoring. Initial management includes relative rest for 24-48 hours, with limited screen time, followed by subthreshold physical exercise. Specific rehabilitation is indicated if symptoms persist. This comprehensive, evidence-based approach optimizes recovery and minimizes long-term effects, promoting the safety and well-being of young athletes.The proposed protocol aims to guide pediatricians and sports professionals in clinical decision-making.
