Multidimensional Classification of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to explore possible solutions needed for valid and reliable multidimensional objective assessment tools to use in screening performers for concussions, as well as, for use postinjury assessment and management of the mild traumatic brain injury, regardless of time since injury occurrence. These mobile tools would also enable clinicians to test the effectiveness of the interventions used post-concussion, prior to fully releasing the performer back into full performance/active status.

Clinical Trial Description

Participants will have study benefits and risks explained to them and after consent has been obtained each participant will be assigned an Identification number and attend their assigned testing day. Testing day will consist of completing a seven page clinician-created medical-health questionnaire to determine that they are free of cardiovascular, metabolic, psychiatric or neurologic disease, do not have cognitive or substance-abuse problems or are taking any medications that may impair cognition, balance or functional mobility such as gait. Participants will also complete the Brain Injury Screening Questionnaire (BISQ, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY) to additionally screen for lifetime history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and reduce consequences of undiagnosed mTBI. Tests will then be conducted in three parts. First, to evaluate neuromotor and neurocognitive abilities, participants will complete a modified balance error test and a modified version of the dynamic gait index without and with additional cognitive tasks. These tests will be performed while wearing external sensors recording kinematic data and a (wearable) functional near-infrared spectroscopy cap system (NIRSport1) unit monitoring brain tissue oxygenation and perfusion. Second test that the above multimodal test will be compared to is the sport concussion assessment tool (SCAT 5). The third test conducted and used to compare the multimodal approach to will be the Immediate post-concussion and cognitive testing (ImPACT). Participants will be allotted a 15-minute break period between each test. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
