Concussion assessment using MRI and blood tests
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 9 and 50 years old.
- You had a concussion within the last 2 weeks.

- You have no history of liver or kidney disease.

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 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 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 stronger MRI scan (7-tesla) can help diagnose and better understand ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. You would be scanned about 7 days after your injury to compare results with typical care.
This study tests whether a combination of blood tests and eye-tracking can help doctors decide if a head CT scan is needed and predict recovery after a mild head injury (concussion). It aims to make care more accurate and less stressful.
This study checks whether a blood test can accurately and quickly identify an uncomplicated concussion. It may help doctors confirm concussion sooner and more reliably, and potentially reduce time and cost of diagnosis.
