Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Wounds and Injuries

Number of sport-related concussion injuries sustained by participants during the study period as diagnosed by the study physician.

Secondary outcome measures

Cognitive function as measured by the computer-based Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPACT).

Medical Devices

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any vacancies available for participants in this research?

"Per the clinicaltrials.gov records, this investigation is currently recruiting volunteers. It was initially posted on September 13th 2021 and has been refreshed with new data on that same day."

Answered by AI

How many participants are being recruited into this experiment?

"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, this investigation is presently recruiting participants with the trial having been first published on September 13th 2021 and updated shortly thereafter. 400 individuals are being sought out from a singular medical facility."

Answered by AI

What are the key aims of this research endeavor?

"This two-year clinical trial seeks to quantify the number of sport-related concussion injuries sustained by participants, as diagnosed by a medical professional. Secondary outcomes that will be recorded include dynamic neck strength with TopSpin360 neuromuscular measurement technology, lower body power endurance and fatigue tolerance using force plates and motion sensors, hip muscle strength assessment through vertical jump tests, quadriceps/hamstring rate of force development in countermovement jumps monitored via PROTXX wearable sensor on mastoid bone, and visual function assessed using FDA approved RightEye eye-tracking system."
