Vestibular rehab for teens and adults with post-concussion syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a special type of physical therapy that focuses on balance and eye movement (vestibular rehabilitation) works better than regular physical therapy for athletes who have ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. If you are between 12 and 30 and still having symptoms from a concussion you got 3 to 12 weeks ago, you may be able to join.
