This research is being done to examine the benefits of a 28 day head cooling intervention on cognition, inflammation of the brain, sleep quality, menstrual symptom interaction, and mood in acutely concussed females. Brain cooling has been shown to cause temporary symptom relief after traumatic brain injury, but its implications for decreasing timeline of full concussion recovery, particularly in females during periods of confounding neuropsychological menstrual symptoms, remains unexplored.
