Sorting out risk in children with a recent concussion
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with a concussion within the last 7 days
- Your child is alert and scores between 13 and 15 on the GCS test
- Your child can take part in an English-speaking visit (or is comfortable with English)
- This is not a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury
- There are no other serious injuries at the same time (no polytrauma)
- The brain injury is not from something non-traumatic (not from an illness or other cause)
- Your child is not pregnant

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 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 tests whether a brain “stimulation” approach, paired with brain imaging (MRI), can help children who still have symptoms after a mild concussion. There is also a comparison group of children without concussion history.
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 trial studies how to predict who may develop small brain injuries seen on CT scans after a mild traumatic brain injury. It may help doctors decide who needs closer monitoring or follow-up imaging.
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.
