A system includes a first device, a second device, and garment. The garment has an elastic region that is configured to receive the first and second devices so that, when the garment is worn by a subject, the first and second devices are positioned at a respective one of a pair of neck veins of the subject. The first and second devices and/or the elastic region apply a compressive pressure to the pair of neck veins while the garment is worn.

Methods and devices to reduce the likelihood of injury from concussive or blast forces

A method and device for reducing the damaging effects of radiant energy, blast, or concussive events includes applying pressure to at least one jugular vein to reduce the egress of blood from the cranial cavity during or before the incidence of the imparting event. Reducing blood outflow from the cranial cavity increases intracranial volume and/or pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and injuries to the spinal column. Reducing blood outflow further increases the intracranial pressure and volume, and thereby increases the pressure and volume of the cochlear fluid, the vitreous humor and the cerebrospinal fluid to thereby reduce the risk of injury to the inner ear, internal structure of the eye and of the spinal column. In addition, increasing intracranial pressure and volume reduces the likelihood of brain injury and any associated loss of olfactory function.
