Baseline concussion testing for football players
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study sets up “starting point” measurements for concussion-related tests in football. It enrolls players who currently do not have a suspected or confirmed concussion, so researchers can compare future test results if a concussion is suspected later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a football player on a team in the concussion substitution study competition
- You must not currently have symptoms or a diagnosis of concussion
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You will complete concussion-related assessment tests as part of the study
