Clinical Trial Summary

Approximately 420 professional and amateur athletes will participate in rehabilitation during recovery after sports-related concussion. Participants will be cluster randomized, by study site, to a specific study arm. Participants will complete post-injury assessments and the intervention of their randomized group aimed at understanding the effects of a multidimensional rehabilitation protocol versus enhanced graded exertion on clinical recovery, return to play, and patient outcomes after sport related concussion


Clinical Trial Description

Approximately 6,600 athletes will complete baseline assessments and 420 of these individuals who suffer a concussion during the course of study will be directed through the post-injury protocol. Following injury, participants will complete post-injury assessments and follow the specific intervention of their randomized group. Post-injury assessments will focus on the following: postural stability, neuro-cognitive function, symptom presence and severity, fatigue, vision, dual-task ability, and mental status. Participants will complete outcome assessments at the following time points: time of injury, 24-48 hours post-injury, asymptomatic, and one month post return to play. Symptoms and physical and cognitive activity will be assessed daily from the first assessment point to 7 days post return to play. Session logs will be kept by the supervising clinician at each study site regardless of study arm. Baseline and outcome assessments will be entered into a secure online platform, each study site will have the option for paper records of outcomes and session logs to be double entered into the electronic system at a later date. ;
