Based on progesterone concentration in a person’s body, physicians believe they can predict the course of a person’s concussion. In 2014, Wunderle, Hoeger, Wasserman, and Bazarian published a paper where they try to see if a person’s menstrual phase can predict the outcome of a mTBI. Wunderle, Hoeger,…
