Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease linked to repeated blows to the head. The encephalopathy symptoms can include behavioral problems, mood problems, and problems with thinking.^[1]^[2] The disease often gets worse over time and can result in dementia.^[2] It is unclear if the risk of suicide is altered.^[1]

Most documented cases have occurred in athletes involved in striking-based combat sports, such as boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and Muay Thai—hence its original name dementia pugilistica (Latin for “fistfighter’s dementia“)—and contact sports such as American football, Australian rules football, professional wrestling, ice hockey, rugby, and association football (soccer),^[1][4] but also in semi-contact sports such as baseball and basketball.
