Testing reassurance support after a concussion in teens
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a specific reassurance program (“Positive Assurance”) helps teens recover better after a mild concussion. Teens are checked for concussion symptoms, then assigned to different support approaches to see which helps most.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your teen) are age 13 to 21.
- You had a recent head or body injury from an outside force and now have concussion-type symptoms like dizziness, headache, confusion, nausea, or light/noise sensitivity.
- A medical clinician must have diagnosed a mild concussion (mTBI) either in the ER/urgent care soon after the injury, or you have an appointment at the Sports Medicine Concussion Clinic within the last 30 days.
- The injury must be recent enough and you must enroll with enough time to still attend the first clinic visit (at least 2 days before the initial visit for Cohort 2).
- Your parent can sign consent remotely and your teen can assent remotely.
- You must be able to speak English as your primary language and you should not need hospital admission for this injury.

This study tests whether a sleep-focused program can help teenagers recover from a concussion. If you have ongoing symptoms after a concussion, this program might improve your sleep and speed up recovery.
This study tests if a supplement called BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) can help young people recover from a concussion. It aims to see if BCAAs improve symptoms compared to a placebo.
This study tests whether a phone-based (mHealth) handoff and follow-up can help teens after a concussion, especially those at higher risk of long-lasting symptoms. It uses smartphone check-ins and coordination between emergency and specialty care.
This study follows older adults (65+) who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) to understand how they recover over time. Researchers want to learn what helps seniors bounce back and stay active after a head injury.
This trial tests a mindfulness program (like guided meditation) for teens after a concussion. It is designed to help with recovery and is offered in the first couple of days after injury.
This study screens teens aged 11 to 17 for emotional and mental health problems after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI, also called concussion or minor head injury). The goal is to find out if the hospital screening helps identify teens who may need extra support.
