Nonprofit Focuses On Female Concussion Research: Corollary For CTE Found Among Men From Football Is Domestic Violence For Women

Some sports, including football and soccer, have introduced rule changes to try to minimize the risk of concussions, and researchers continue studying ways to diagnose and treat concussions.
