Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether giving magnesium sulfate (a common mineral supplement) soon after a moderate head injury can reduce brain swelling and inflammation. It aims to see if this treatment helps protect the brain and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether a Medrol “dose pack” (a short course of steroid medicine taken by mouth) can reduce acute headache pain after a concussion. It may help people whose concussion headaches are frequent and severe soon after injury.
This study tests whether a dietary and nutrition intervention can improve symptoms that linger after a concussion. It may help people whose post-concussion symptoms have lasted a short to medium time (at least 2 weeks).
This study tests if a supplement called BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) can help young people recover from a concussion. It aims to see if BCAAs improve symptoms compared to a placebo.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic pulse treatment (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people with long-lasting headaches following a mild concussion. If you are 18 to 55 years old and have had daily headaches for at least 3 months after your head injury, this study may help find a new way to relieve your pain.
This study tests whether taking creatine (a natural muscle supplement) can help young adults recover faster after a concussion. The trial starts very soon after injury, within the first 3 days.
