Neck and brain tests after a sports head or neck injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how sports-related injuries may affect thinking and how well your neck moves and feels strong. You may be eligible if you’re an athlete and can do simple neck movement and strength checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 12 to 30 years old
- You are an athlete (competitive or recreational)
- You can safely move your neck through its normal range of motion
- You can do a neck strength assessment (testing your neck strength)
- You are not currently pregnant and pregnancy is not suspected
- You have not recently had head lice exposure

This study looks at how athletes recover from concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries. It aims to understand recovery patterns, which could help improve care for sports-related head injuries.
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.
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.
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.
This study looks at how the position of your head and the endurance of your neck muscles relate to headaches that come from the neck. It may help find better ways to understand and treat this type of headache in teenagers.
This study looks at how the brain and thinking may be affected by playing professional football, using brain scans and thinking tests. It also compares former players with similar men who did not play organized football beyond high school.
