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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You had a mild head injury or concussion at least 2 weeks ago.
- You still have at least one symptom (like headache, dizziness, or trouble concentrating) that started within the first week after your injury, and it's at least moderate.
- Physical activity makes your symptoms worse.
- It has been less than 2 years since your injury.

This trial studies whether a structured exercise “reset” program can improve recovery after concussion in active-duty service members. There are two groups: one soon after a new concussion and one with either lingering symptoms or a more recently recovered concussion.
This trial tests a rehabilitation approach for people with post-concussion syndrome (ongoing symptoms after a mild head injury). It may help by guiding safer, structured recovery—especially through exercise—if it fits your situation and you can participate.
This study tests a spine-focused physical therapy program for people with headaches that started after a concussion and have lasted at least 4 weeks. It aims to see if targeting the autonomic nervous system and dura mater can help reduce headache pain and disability.
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 trial tests if graded aerobic exercise can help people who have ongoing symptoms after a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). It aims to see if carefully increasing exercise intensity improves tolerance to physical activity.
