I think Caroline should look into the Q-Collar. If you’re familiar with Audrey Warren (Georgia, Texas), she wore one for similar reasons.

“As a freshman, Warren, who had a knack for taking charges, had suffered four concussions. She had several concussion-related issues until she started wearing the Q-Collar.

“I wanted to be able to play and not risk my health,” Overshown said. “They suggested I give it a try. It’s been unbelievable. Not only being safe but going out there with confidence. I don’t have to worry about that. That’s huge playing the sport we play. Confidence is everything.””

The Q-Collar may be controversial, but the FDA's approval doesn't help things because it sounds like they hedged on based on how I've understood their approval. Per a recent article in advance of the World Cup:

"In 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration cleared the Q-Collar for sale as a medical device and announced that research studies on the Q-Collar "appear to indicate protection of the brain associated with device use." While there's some debate among researchers regarding the methodology used in studies supporting the efficacy of the Q-Collar, the FDA also found that "no significant adverse events were associated with device use.""

World Cup players are wearing devices around their necks to prevent brain injuries. Here's how they're supposed to work.

World Cup 2023 players, including Canadian midfielder Quinn and Costa Rican forward Rocky Rodríguez, are wearing the Q-Collar to protect their brains.

So which is it? If they were skeptical, why does it get approved as a medical device? If there are studies that provide valid reasons to question the original research, when does the FDA get involved and reassess?
