Post Concussive Symptoms Clinical Trial
Official title:
Neurofilament Light Chain, Inflammatory Markers, Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide, and Kynurenine Metabolites in Patients With Severe Post-concussive Symptoms
The goal of this study was to investigate the biomarkers, neurofilament light chain, inflammatory markers, calcitonin-gene-related peptide, and metabolites from the kynurenine pathway in patients with severe post-concussive symptoms. The main question it aimed to answer was: - Are the biomarker concentrations significantly changed in patients with severe post-concussive symptoms compared to healthy individuals? - Do the biomarker concentrations change at follow-up? Participants were recruited from a recently published randomized controlled trial (Clinicaltrials.gov no. NCT02337101 / PMID: 31891145 ). The biomarker concentrations were compared to a healthy control group recruited from the Blood Bank at Aarhus University Hospital in 2022.
In the previously published RCT-study (PMID: 31891145), 86 participants with severe post-concussive symptoms provided blood samples at baseline (4 months after the concussion). Severe post-concussive symptoms were defined as having a Rivermead Post Concussion Questionnaire >20. Around 7 months later, a follow-up blood sample was obtained from 54 participants. These blood samples were used to investigate blood biomarkers for the condition. ;
