Challenging the post-concussion vision "wait and see" approach, new research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine reports that office-based vergence/accommodative therapy with movement (OBVAM) significantly outperforms simple observation or “watchful waiting.”
The CONCUSS randomized clinical trial offers significant findings in the area of concussion-related vision rehabilitation. Here's a summary and analysis of its key points:
🧠 Study Focus:
The trial evaluated the effectiveness of immediate vs. delayed OBVAM in treating convergence insufficiency resulting from concussions.
✅ Key Findings:
Immediate OBVAM was more effective than delayed intervention.
The study provides the first high-quality clinical evidence supporting office-based vision therapy as a treatment for concussion-related convergence insufficiency (CI).
Vision therapy significantly improved symptoms associated with post-concussion CI.
