What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of administering a paced breathing exercise intervention program to children and adolescents in the acute period after concussion. Secondary objectives include documenting symptom severity (ANS related symptoms, post-concussion symptoms, anxiety, sleep) before and after administration of the intervention and examine whether early paced-breathing exercise can accelerate recovery and symptom improvement. Participants will be instructed to perform a daily 10-minutes daily paced breathing home-exercise program and to document the daily exercises performed within a performance log, or receive usual care from the Pediatric Emergency Department. A weekly phone meeting will be performed with all participants to assess recovery progress. Participants randomized to the intervention group will also be asked about their exercises, w
