What is being tested?

The study tests how visual and auditory distractions affect SCAT5 scores—a tool used to evaluate cognitive functions after head injuries. About 80 participants will take the SCAT5 under distracted and non-distracted conditions to see if distractions lower their performance.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves only assessment tools without medical interventions, there are no direct side effects from drugs or treatments. However, participating in tasks while distracted could potentially cause stress or fatigue.
