Abstract

The brain utilizes glucose as its main source of energy. Traumatic brain injuries may alter the brain's ability to shuttle glucose effectively; therefore, the symptoms experienced may be a signal of the dysregulation. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the presence of any specific food cravings during the first week post-concussion and if the consumption of such a food decreased the symptoms of concussion. The link to the survey was posted on 4 Canadian organization websites from November 2020 to February 2021. Any individual over 18 years old who had suffered one of more concussions in the past 12 months was included. 73 females and 24 males, the majority aged 18-40 years, completed the survey. Participants with combined carbohydrate and sweet cravings reported significantly more symptoms of increased emotions (p=0.04), irritability (p=0.03), sadness (p=0.04), nervousness (p=0.03), and sleep disturbances (p=0.05) than those without these cravings. Consumption of the craved food did not change the concussion symptoms.

脑震荡后第一周对食物的渴望。

大脑利用葡萄糖作为主要的能量来源。创伤性脑损伤可能改变大脑有效输送葡萄糖的能力;因此，所经历的症状可能是失调的信号。这项横断面研究的目的是调查脑震荡后第一周内任何特定食物渴望的存在，以及食用这种食物是否会减少脑震荡的症状。该调查的链接于2020年11月至2021年2月在4个加拿大组织网站上发布。任何在过去12个月内遭受过一次或多次脑震荡的18岁以上的人都包括在内。73名女性和24名男性完成了这项调查，其中大多数年龄在18-40岁之间。与没有这些渴望的参与者相比，同时渴望碳水化合物和甜食的参与者报告的情绪增加(p=0.04)、易怒(p=0.03)、悲伤(p=0.04)、紧张(p=0.03)和睡眠障碍(p=0.05)的症状明显更多。食用这种渴望的食物并没有改变脑震荡的症状。
