Study Summary

This trial tests if a brain stimulation procedure can improve movement reaction time and biomechanics in people w/ & w/o concussion history.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for active individuals aged 18-35, cleared for sports, with or without a past concussion. Excluded are those with ADHD, uncorrected vision issues, neurological diseases, seizures, severe headaches/migraines, heart/respiratory disease, brain lesions/increased intracranial pressure; using certain medications; pregnant; having metal/electronic implants in the head; not medically cleared for physical activity.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if theta burst stimulation to the prefrontal cortex can improve reaction time and biomechanics during jump landing tasks compared to control stimulation at the vertex. It looks at differences between people with and without a history of concussion.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly stated here, side effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation may include headache, scalp discomfort at the site of stimulation, tingling or spasms in facial muscles.

Is enrollment open for this research endeavor?

"Patients are being sought at this time, per the information posted on clinicaltrials.gov. The trial was initially announced on November 3rd 2023 and has been updated most recently in November 2nd of that same year."

Answered by AI

Do participants in this trial need to be under the age of 35?

"Participation in this medical trial is open for those between 18 and 35 years old."

Answered by AI

What is the maximum capacity of participants for this research project?

"That is correct. Clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this medical trial, first listed on November 3rd 2023, continues to actively search for participants. The research team requires 50 volunteers at a single site."

Answered by AI

Is there an opportunity to join this research endeavor?

"This medical trial is searching for an even cohort of 50 patients aged 18 to 35 suffering from traumatic brain injury. Eligibility requirements include a completed National Institute of Health common data element form, self-reported clearance to partake in physical activity and sporting events, as well as 90 minutes or more of physical activity on a weekly basis."
