Brain development after mild concussion in young children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how a mild concussion affects brain development in young children (ages 3–5) compared to kids with other minor injuries like a broken arm. It involves one MRI scan and some simple check-ups to see how the brain heals over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 5 years old (before their 6th birthday).
- The injury happened by accident and they went to the emergency room within 48 hours.
- Your child either had a mild concussion (mild traumatic brain injury) OR a simple injury like a broken bone or sprain.
- No previous head injuries of any kind.
- No metal in the body or other reason they can't have an MRI.
- French is the main language spoken at home.

This early study tests whether a brain-stimulation method can help after recovery from a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), sometimes called concussion. It also may include healthy volunteers to compare safety and computer-based brain measures.
This research uses advanced brain imaging (MRI) to understand how head injuries affect the brain's structure and connections. The goal is to develop personalized tools to predict recovery and guide treatment decisions for patients with moderate to severe head injuries.
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 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 screens teens aged 11 to 17 for emotional and mental health problems after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI, also called concussion or minor head injury). The goal is to find out if the hospital screening helps identify teens who may need extra support.
This study follows people with a moderate, non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) to see how small blood-vessel damage changes over time. It uses brain scans to learn what happens after a serious accident, which may help improve future care.
