In both athletes and SWAT personnel, there were no clinically significant differences in neurocognitive performance between groups. There are statistically significant imaging changes between collared and noncollared groups; however, the imaging changes were not consistent and are of uncertain clinical significance. Furthermore, 6 out of 11 studies in athletes are currently under investigation. The available evidence supports that JVC can increase intracranial pressure, but it remains unknown if this results in any clinically meaningful benefit.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although no adverse outcomes are reported with collar use, current research does not support the effectiveness of JVC collars for concussion reduction and use for mitigation of repetitive head impact.
