Exercise for concussion symptoms and headache
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a carefully supervised exercise program can help people who still have headaches or other symptoms weeks after a mild head injury. If you get symptoms when you try to be active, this study may offer a structured way to help you recover.

This trial tests a physical therapy program that targets the body's automatic functions and tissues around the spine to help people with persistent headaches after a concussion. It aims to reduce headache pain and improve daily life.
This study tests whether adding special balance and eye exercises to standard physical therapy helps athletes recover from post-concussion syndrome. If you've had a concussion recently and still have symptoms like dizziness or headaches, this treatment might help you get back to normal faster.
This trial tests a “get going” rehabilitation program for people who recently had a concussion (mild brain injury) from a head impact. It may help reduce concussion symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning in the months after injury.
This trial tests whether mental imagery tasks can trigger or worsen headaches and dizziness in people with long-lasting symptoms after a mild traumatic brain injury or concussion. If you still have headaches or dizziness more than 3 months after your injury, this study may help understand how your brain reacts to mental exercises.
This study compares two non-drug treatments for people with persistent headaches that started or worsened after a mild head injury (concussion). One treatment is behavior therapy, which teaches skills to manage pain, and the other is education about headaches. The goal is to see which approach helps more.
