The incidence of Sports-related concussions (SRCs) has risen in recent years, not least in ice hockey, and available treatment options are limited. Here, we addressed the hypotheses that immediate controlled head- and neck cooling could hasten return-to-play in a Swedish cohort of concussed professional ice hockey players. Over three seasons, 15 teams used either immediate head- and neck cooling or standard management for SRC. All players (81) followed the same return-to-play management protocol.
