Breathing exercises for concussion recovery in kids
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether slow, paced breathing exercises can help kids recover from a concussion. It looks at how the body's 'automatic' nervous system (which controls heartbeat, sweating, etc.) works after head injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a mindfulness program (like guided meditation) for teens after a concussion. It is designed to help with recovery and is offered in the first couple of days after injury.
This study looks at how athletes recover from concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries. It aims to understand recovery patterns, which could help improve care for sports-related head injuries.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help the nervous system recover better after a concussion. Kids ages 9–18 who come to the emergency room within 3 days of a concussion may qualify if they have symptoms like dizziness, nausea, tiredness, confusion, anxiety, or sleep problems.
This study tests whether adjusting how much exercise you do can improve recovery after a concussion. You may be screened to make sure symptoms are still present, and then assigned to an exercise plan that matches the study’s goals.
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 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.
