Teen emotions screening after mild brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 11 and 17 years old
- You had a head injury in the last 72 hours that caused symptoms like confusion, headache, nausea, dizziness, memory loss, or a seizure—or a brain scan showed an injury like a bleed or skull fracture
- You do not need emergency surgery for the head injury or any other injury
- You or your parent can fill out the study questionnaires (no severe pre-existing developmental delays that would make this hard)
- You or your parent speak English or Spanish

This study looks at how people with mild head injuries are treated and recover. It may help doctors improve care for patients who have a mild head injury and get a brain scan.
This study looks at whether routine blood tests taken in the emergency room can help doctors predict if a child with a minor head injury might have a brain injury. The goal is to find simple, quick ways to identify children who may need extra care.
This study tests a remote program to help teens ages 11 to 18 recover from a concussion that happened 1 to 12 months ago. You'll learn ways to manage symptoms like headaches, tiredness, or trouble focusing, all from home.
This study looks at whether a specific reassurance program (“Positive Assurance”) helps teens recover better after a mild concussion. Teens are checked for concussion symptoms, then assigned to different support approaches to see which helps most.
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.
This trial tests a device (TES HT100) to screen for brain injuries in people with mild head trauma or certain neurological symptoms. It aims to quickly identify who might need imaging or follow-up care.
