Association of Centrally Acting Medications, Chronic Pain, and Orthopedic Surgical History with Cognitive Impairment and Neurobehavioral Dysregulation in Former American Football Players

In former American football players, the number of CAMs and higher average pain were associated with neurobehavioral dysregulation. No associations were observed with diagnosis of cognitive impairment by TES criteria, though the number of CAMs was associated with decreased MoCA.

Abstract

In former American football players, the number of CAMs and higher average pain were associated with neurobehavioral dysregulation. No associations were observed with diagnosis of cognitive impairment by TES criteria, though the number of CAMs was associated with decreased MoCA.
