This study uses MRI scans and blood tests to measure brain recovery after a concussion. It will help doctors understand how concussions affect the brain and find better ways to diagnose them.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 9–50 - NCT07017257Recruiting
Ear stimulation for ongoing concussion symptoms
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation on the ear (like a gentle pulse) can help people who still have symptoms like headache, dizziness, or trouble concentrating for weeks to a year after a concussion. The goal is to see if it helps the brain recover faster.
Liège, LiègeAges 18–65 - NCT06956417Recruiting
Memory rehab after concussion
This trial tests a memory rehabilitation program for people who have had a concussion and still have memory problems. It uses a computer, tablet, or smartphone to help improve memory.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–59 - NCT06893029Recruiting
Dizziness from visual motion in concussion and other causes
This study looks at how people with dizziness from concussion or other causes (like vestibular migraine) react to visual motion. It tests balance during specific visual challenges to understand why dizziness happens.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–60 - NCT06855186Recruiting
Rehabilitation for concussion based on your symptoms
This study tests a symptom-focused rehabilitation program for people who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) at least 3 months ago. It aims to help with ongoing cognitive complaints like memory or concentration problems.
Wahiawa, HawaiiAges 18–64 - NCT06239818Recruiting
Light therapy for concussion recovery in teens
This trial tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help teenagers recover faster from a sports-related concussion. If you qualify, you will receive the light treatment in addition to your usual care, and researchers will track your symptoms and thinking skills over time.
Houston, TexasAges 13–18 - NCT06615908RecruitingPhase 1
Psilocybin therapy for lingering concussion symptoms
This study tests whether a single dose of psilocybin, given with therapist support, can reduce long-lasting symptoms after a concussion. If your symptoms have continued for months, you may be eligible.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–65 - NCT06413173Recruiting
Remote brain stimulation for attention after mild TBI
This trial tests if a remote brain stimulation device can improve attention and concentration in active-duty service members who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. Participants use the device at home while completing tasks to help with daily focus.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT06376500Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help thinking after concussion
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that some people have after a mild concussion. tDCS uses a small electrical current from scalp electrodes to gently activate parts of the brain.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 18–65 - NCT06208813Recruiting
Creatine for Concussion Recovery in Young Adults
This study tests whether taking creatine (a natural muscle supplement) can help young adults recover faster after a concussion. The trial starts very soon after injury, within the first 3 days.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–35 - NCT06015451Recruiting
Exercise for concussion symptoms and headache
This trial tests whether a carefully supervised exercise program can help people who still have headaches or other symptoms weeks after a mild head injury. If you get symptoms when you try to be active, this study may offer a structured way to help you recover.
TrondheimAges 18–65 - NCT05942638Enrolling by invitation
Tracking how concussion affects college driving over time
This study follows young adults who drive to see how a concussion may affect driving abilities over time. You may be asked to complete driving- and health-related assessments, and the results could help improve safety and guidance after concussion.
Athens, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05825027Recruiting
Sorting out risk in children with a recent concussion
This study looks at how to identify which children are at higher risk after a concussion and how they should be monitored. It may help doctors choose safer, more personalized follow-up care after a recent head injury.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 11–17 - NCT05785000Recruiting
Rehab program for long-lasting concussion symptoms
This trial tests a rehabilitation approach for people with post-concussion syndrome (ongoing symptoms after a mild head injury). It may help by guiding safer, structured recovery—especially through exercise—if it fits your situation and you can participate.
Copenhagen, Region of Greater CopenhagenAges 18–70 - NCT05719844Recruiting
Computer tests to assess concussion recovery in young rugby players
This study checks whether a set of computer-based attention and thinking tests can help manage concussion (a brain injury) in young rugby players. It compares players who had a concussion with similarly aged players who haven’t had one.
Clermont-FerrandAges 11–25 - NCT05588115Recruiting
Test blood biomarkers to help diagnose concussion
This study checks whether a blood test can accurately and quickly identify an uncomplicated concussion. It may help doctors confirm concussion sooner and more reliably, and potentially reduce time and cost of diagnosis.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–65 - NCT05434130RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing the right exercise amount to help concussion recovery
This study tests whether adjusting how much exercise you do can improve recovery after a concussion. You may be screened to make sure symptoms are still present, and then assigned to an exercise plan that matches the study’s goals.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 13–18 - NCT05122728Recruiting
Tracking injury risk after concussion and body movement changes
This study looks at how being recently concussion-affected changes musculoskeletal (muscle/joint) injury risk and recovery during physical activity. It compares a group who is currently recovering after concussion with a similar healthy group to better understand risk factors over time.
Athens, GeorgiaAges 18–40 - NCT04982562Recruiting
7-tesla MRI for symptoms after a mild concussion
This study checks whether a stronger MRI scan (7-tesla) can help diagnose and better understand ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. You would be scanned about 7 days after your injury to compare results with typical care.
PoitiersAges 20–72 - NCT04978571Recruiting
Electrical nerve stimulation for long-lasting concussion symptoms
This study tests whether a device that delivers gentle electrical signals to nerves through the skin can help children and teens with concussion symptoms that have lasted at least 3 months. You may be asked to attend clinic visits for the nerve stimulation setup if you meet the safety and scheduling requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 11–18 - NCT04685772Recruiting
Medrol Dose Pack for new concussion headache relief
