CASE Trial Summary

This trial assesses an athlete's physical performance in response to dynamic exertion, in order to identify system impairments that may keep them from safely returning to their sport.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for athletes aged 10-22 who've had a concussion but are symptom-free at rest and cleared to play within the last 30 days. They must have played organized sports in the past year. It's not for those with severe brain injuries, cardiopulmonary conditions, certain mental health diagnoses, more than three concussions, diabetes, uncontrolled asthma, pregnancy or current COVID-19 symptoms.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The CASE test measures an athlete's physical response during sport-specific activities to help decide if they're ready to return to sports after a concussion. It looks at physiological and symptomatic responses across various body positions typical of different sports like soccer and basketball.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since CASE is an exercise-based assessment rather than a drug treatment, there aren't traditional side effects. However, it may provoke symptoms in recovering athletes which can inform healthcare professionals about their readiness to resume sporting activities.

CASE Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: CASEExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this prospective study the investigators aim to quantify participants' responses to physical activity. Participants will be asked to engage in physical activity, to identify any provocation of symptoms in adolescents ranging from ages 10 to 22 years. Responses to physical activity will be measured through physiologic markers (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, rate of perceived exertion, dyspnea). Additionally, participants will be monitored for any changes in symptoms that occur during or after physical activity as measured by the modified PCSS symptom inventory.
