Get Going After concussioN 2.0 — GAIN2  

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Clinical Trial

Official title: Interdisciplinary Intervention for Patients With Post-concussion Symptoms 3-6 Months Post-injury (GAIN 2.0). A Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomised Trial: Effect on Symptoms, Participation in Daily Activities, and Labour Market Attachment

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The study tests the promising results of a previous study (GAIN 1.0) in a larger RCT (GAIN 2.0) which takes place in the municipalities of Central Denmark Region where citizens live their daily lives and whose health- and social care systems support citizens who experience persisting PCS.

Clinical Trial Description

Concussion, the mildest form of traumatic brain injury, is an important public health concern. Recent studies estimate that persistent post-concussion symptoms (PCS) are present in almost half of the affected citizens at one year post-injury. Prospective studies have demonstrated that these citizens are at risk of developing long-lasting symptoms which are associated with high societal burden due to long-term impact on labour market attachment and increased use of health care and social benefits. In Denmark, there has in recent years been an increasing awareness on societal impact and personal consequences of PCS. Accordingly, clinicians as well as social workers and therapists in the municipalities point to the gab in knowledge concerning PCS and advocate urgently for evidence-based treatment for these citizens. Recently, the research group behind this application developed a novel early intervention - "Get going After concussIoN" (GAIN 1.0) - for citizens who experience persistent PCS three to six months post-concussion. The intervention was tested in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with promising results. However, it was delivered in a single hospital setting in which these citizens are normally not cared for. In this study the intention is to test the results of GAIN 1.0 in a larger RCT (GAIN 2.0) which takes place in the municipalities of Central Denmark Region where citizens live their daily lives and whose health- and social care systems support citizens who experience persisting PCS. ;
