Recovery in Older Adults After Mild Head Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study follows older adults (65+) who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) to understand how they recover over time. Researchers want to learn what helps seniors bounce back and stay active after a head injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 65 years old or older
- You were treated for a mild head injury (concussion) at a University of Maryland hospital within 72 hours of the injury
- You do not have serious injuries to other body parts (besides your head)
- You are expected to be able to walk with help within 2 weeks of your injury
- You do not have a history of dementia or memory loss disease
- You live within 55 miles of the main hospital (R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center) in Baltimore

This study looks at how mild or moderate head injuries (concussions) may relate to brain conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease. By comparing people with and without head injuries, researchers hope to learn more about what causes brain changes over time.
This study follows people with a moderate, non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) to see how small blood-vessel damage changes over time. It uses brain scans to learn what happens after a serious accident, which may help improve future care.
This study enrolls people who come to the emergency room with a mild head injury (concussion) within 24 hours of the injury. Researchers will collect a blood sample, have you wear a health monitor for 3 months, and check in by phone at 14 and 90 days to track your recovery.
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 observes older adults (65+) who have had a recent head injury to understand how they recover over time. It may help improve care for seniors with brain trauma.
