Summary

This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help veterans and others with persistent post-concussion symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and memory trouble. The exercises aim to improve heart rate variability, a sign of how well the nervous system is working. 148 participants will be followed to see if symptoms improve over time.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to ease long-term concussion symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and memory problems.
What could go wrong
This is an early-to-mid stage trial with only 148 veterans, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits may be modest or hard to separate from placebo.
