Concussions in children can have long-lasting effects on their physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. It is crucial to identify and treat concussions promptly with our immediate care pediatrics clinics to prevent further injury and complications. However, diagnosing concussions in children can be challenging, as they may not always exhibit obvious symptoms or may have difficulty articulating their experiences.

Our concussion assessment services at our kid’s urgent care are designed to address the complex nature of concussions in a child and provide a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s condition. We understand that concussions can have a wide range of symptoms and effects, and our urgent care pediatrics provider’s goal is to accurately assess and diagnose symptoms of a concussion in a child to ensure proper treatment and support.

Our pediatric urgent care can monitor and address any potential complications or lingering symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, or cognitive difficulties. We can also provide guidance on when it is safe for the child to return to physical activities, preventing further injury.

About Concussion Assessments

Anyone between the ages of 5-21 years old can have an EyeBOX test done at Little Spurs Pediatric Urgent Care.

In addition to your normal urgent care visit co-pay or deductible, the EyeBOX will be offered at our immediate care pediatrics clinics at a private pay rate of $40, as this test is not currently covered by insurance.

If you are being referred from an outside provide, the EyeBOX will be offered at a private pay rate of $60 (no co-pay or deductibles will be applied).

YES! The EyeBOX tool helps to support and confirm a concussion diagnosis, but it does not replace head-to-toe assessment by a licensed practitioner.

We are excited to offer the EyeBOX to all community providers. If your child’s PCP or a specialist conducts your child’s initial visit, we can then perform the EyeBOX test. Results will be sent back to the referring provider.

For the EyeBOX test, the results are either positive, negative, or undetermined. The test will also be accompanied and supported by a clinical assessment by one of our providers to help interpret the results.

Yes, head injuries can cause fever. Our immediate care pediatrics providers recommend a concussion assessment by a professional. That way a treatment plan can be designed to address the patients needs.

What is Eyebox?

Eyebox is a revolutionary eye-tracking system we use at our immediate care pediatrics clinics that can quickly and accurately diagnose concussions and other head injuries.

  • The system works by tracking the movements of a patient’s eyes as they watch a series of images on a screen. Based on the data collected, Eyebox can identify any abnormal eye movements that may indicate a head injury.
  • One of the key benefits of Eyebox technology is that it is non-invasive and easy to use.
  • The test takes only a few minutes to complete and does not require any special preparation or equipment.
  • This makes it an ideal tool for use in urgent care facilities, where time is often of the essence.

Why Eyebox is More Accurate?

Sometimes when a kid gets a bump on the head, it’s hard to tell if they have a concussion due to the often delayed onset of symptoms following head trauma.  This can make it tricky for doctors to figure out what’s wrong and how to help the child get better.

Now, there’s a special test called the EyeBOX that can help our urgent care pediatrics doctors find out if a child has a concussion. This simple, non-invasion test scrutinizes a patient’s eye movements to facilitate the prompt diagnosis of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The EyeBOX test is a better way to check for concussions in kids because it’s quick, doesn’t need any previous information, and helps doctors be sure about what’s going on in the child’s head. If you’re ever in doubt, don’t hesitate to seek medical attention at our kids urgent care facility.
