Study on mental imagery and symptom worsening after concussion
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
