Check how teens respond after a sports concussion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body responds to sports exertion after a concussion in otherwise healthy teens. It may help improve concussion safety rules for returning to play and reduce the risk of symptoms coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a remote program to help teens ages 11 to 18 recover from a concussion that happened 1 to 12 months ago. You'll learn ways to manage symptoms like headaches, tiredness, or trouble focusing, all from home.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
