What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) poses a substantial clinical and public health burden, often leading to persistent neurosensory and cognitive symptoms for which diagnostic and therapeutic solutions remain limited. This study proposes a multimodal diagnostic framework that integrates established mTBI screening tools and clinical neuro-optometric assessments with high-resolution oculomotor, vestibular, and reaction time (OVRT) testing to enhance diagnostic precision and identify prognostic markers of recovery. Normative data will be established in healthy controls to inform objective thresholds and support clinical implementation. Concurrently, we will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of a novel, minimal-risk multisensory therapeutic intervention (i.e., passive neurosensory reintegration training, or PNRT) for individuals with sub-acute or chronic mTBI. By addressing critical gaps in both diagnosis and treatment, this project will improve mTBI recovery outcomes, inform future clinical trials, and advance evidence-based mTBI care guidelines.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussion, who may be experiencing ongoing neurosensory and cognitive symptoms. The study aims to refine diagnostic methods and test a new therapy called passive neurosensory reintegration training (PNRT).
