Building Emotional Self-Awareness Teletherapy (BEST)

BEST
Start date: February 23, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a remotely delivered intervention for civilians and service members with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) who have difficulty recognizing and regulating their emotions. Post-treatment outcomes of interest include emotional self-awareness and regulation, resiliency, and affective symptoms.

NCT ID: NCT05446584 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Mild Cognitive Impairment

Pathways Relating Amnestic MCI to a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury History

PATH
Start date: April 20, 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study will probe if the biological changes in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) are related to a history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) using high definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) and blood-derived biomarker tools. Participants who Do as well as those who Do Not have a history of mTBI will be enrolled in the study.

NCT ID: NCT05434130 Recruiting - Inflammation Clinical Trials

Modulating Exercise Dosage to Improve Concussion Recovery

MEDIC
Start date: August 5, 2022
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Aerobic exercise has emerged as an effective treatment to reduce sport-related concussion symptom severity, yet existing work lacks rigor regarding the precise exercise volume and intensity required to elicit therapeutic effects, how exercise can alter concussion-related pathophysiology, and whether exercise can prevent the development of secondary sequelae. Our objective is to examine if a high dose exercise program (higher volume than currently prescribed at an individualized, safe intensity level) initiated within 14 days of concussion results in faster symptom resolution, altered physiological function, or reduced secondary sequalae. Findings from this research will lead to more rigorous and precise rehabilitation guidelines and improved understanding about how exercise affects neurophysiological function among adolescents with concussion.

Is Y-Balance Test Predictive of Concussion

Start date: May 4, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Y Balance Test for the lower quarter (YBT-LQ) is a movement screen used to assess an athlete's risk for injury. The YBT-LQ is a dynamic balance test where the participant stands on a single leg and with the opposite lower extremity reaches are far in the anterior direction as they can, and this value is measured. The process is repeated in the posterior medial, and the posterior lateral directions. The final values are controlled for leg length of the participants. The YBT-LQ has been shown to be predictive of lower extremity injury in high school basketball players, but it is typically used as part of a battery of tests to determine the athlete's overall injury risk, but more questions remain to be answered. The research question: Is the YBT-LQ predictive of concussion in high school athletes? What are the norms for YBT-LQ in high school athletes? Does history of concussion effect YBT-LQ? Is the YBT-LQ with visual perturbations predictive of concussions? Is the YBT-LQ with visual perturbations predictive of lower extremity injury? What is the impact of visual perturbations on Y-balance and its injury prevention capability? The target student participants will be 9th through 12th grade students; however, 6th to 8th grade students will be allowed to participate depending on the school or organization request. Informed consent will be obtained reiterating that participation is voluntary. Testing utilizing the YBT-LQ will occur, and sport of participation, age, height, weight, dorsiflexion, and leg length will be obtained. Follow up will be made via the athletic trainers and school personnel to indicate the effected athletes. Once the post-test follow up is complete athletes will be able to see their pre-test scores, and any questions will be answered at that time. This will be a longitudinal study where testing will take place at least two times per year, preferably three times per year over 4 years.

Dynamic Vision Testing and Concussion Management Dream Team 65

Start date: October 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to determine the value of including dynamic vision testing into California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Athletics' established concussion protocol. The study's hypotheses are 1) dynamic vision testing will reveal vision impairments right after a person sustains a concussion, 2) these impairments may still be present upon clearance to return to play.

NCT ID: NCT04992130 Recruiting - Concussion, Brain Clinical Trials

Sport Concussion Performance-Based Prevention Program

Start date: September 13, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Sport-related concussions and traumatic lower body injuries (e.g., anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears) occur frequently in high-speed and contact/collision sports contributing to significant time loss from training/competition and potentially devastating long-term performance and health consequences. Neurological impairment following a concussive injury may be subtle, but if missed, may have grave consequences in a high-risk, high-speed sporting context. Recent evidence suggests that the risk of lower body musculoskeletal injury is significantly higher for athletes sustaining a sport-related concussion in the three-month to two-year period following injury. Most injury prevention research to date has focused on modifiable extrinsic risk factors; there is a void or gap on modifiable intrinsic risk factors. The purpose of this study is to: 1. determine the effect of a standardized supplementary pre-season multi-modal neurologic training program, versus usual training, on concussion and/or traumatic lower body injury risk among high-speed/contact/collision sport athletes (primary prevention). 2. determine the effect of a standardized supplementary pre-season multi-modal neurologic training program, versus usual training, on concussion and/or traumatic lower body injury severity (time loss from training/competition measured in days, determined from the date of injury to the date a sport medicine physician medically clears the athlete to return to unrestricted training/competition) (secondary prevention). 3. determine the effect of a standardized supplementary pre-season multi-modal neurologic training program, versus usual training, on neurologic performance. The investigators hypothesize that athletes completing the standardized supplementary pre-season multi-modal neurologic training program, compared with usual training, will significantly reduce the participants risk and severity of concussion and/or traumatic lower body injury, and significantly improve neurologic performance.

NCT ID: NCT04938570 Recruiting - Concussion, Brain Clinical Trials

Wearables in Rugby Union: A Protocol for Multimodal Digital Sports-related Concussion Assessment

Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The investigators aim to use a repeated measures observational study utilising a battery of multimodal assessment tools (symptom, cognitive, visual, motor). The investigators aim to recruit 200 rugby players (male and female) from University Rugby Union teams and local amateur rugby clubs in the North East of England. The multimodal battery assessment used in this study will compare metrics between digital methods and against traditional assessment.

The Role of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine in Recovery From Concussions

Start date: September 22, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This project aims to study whether adding osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to usual care of concussed patients will enhance their recovery.

NCT ID: NCT04856241 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

Making Football Safer for Women: Implementing an Injury Prevention Program

Prep-to-Play
Start date: April 22, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to determine how we can best support coaches to implement an injury prevention (IP) program (Prep-to-Play) in female community Australian Football. We will recruit at least 140 female community football teams from 15 different football leagues in Victoria, Australia. Teams will be competing in U16, U17, U18, U19 or open womens competitions. We will train and support coaches to implement the IP program and evaluate the effects of the IP program on injuries across two football seasons.
