Balance and eye exercises for athletes with concussion symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding special balance and eye exercises to standard physical therapy helps athletes recover from post-concussion syndrome. If you've had a concussion recently and still have symptoms like dizziness or headaches, this treatment might help you get back to normal faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 12 and 30 years old.

This study tests whether GyroStim—a specialized rotating chair therapy—can help reduce dizziness, balance problems, and thinking difficulties that last more than 4 weeks after a head injury. GyroStim is designed to retrain how your brain and inner ear work together.
This trial tests a rehabilitation approach for people with post-concussion syndrome (ongoing symptoms after a mild head injury). It may help by guiding safer, structured recovery—especially through exercise—if it fits your situation and you can participate.
This study tests a type of physical therapy for athletes who still have balance, walking, or coordination problems after a concussion. The therapy may help you recover and get back to training safely.
This study looks at how people with dizziness from concussion or other causes (like vestibular migraine) react to visual motion. It tests balance during specific visual challenges to understand why dizziness happens.
This study tests whether a wearable device can help people with balance and vision problems after a mild concussion. You will use the device to guide your own exercises and help improve your recovery.
