Summary
This trial tests if the I-PAS goggle system can reliably diagnose mild brain injuries in urgent care or emergency settings.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-50 who've had a head impact and are diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussion at specific hospitals. It's also for similar adults without head injuries as controls. Excluded are those with severe injuries, past significant head trauma, certain medical conditions, or inability to consent.
What is being tested?
The study tests the I-PAS Goggle System's ability to diagnose mTBI in community healthcare settings like emergency departments. Researchers want to see if it works reliably outside of traditional hospital environments.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves diagnostic equipment rather than medication, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, discomfort or disorientation during use of the goggles could occur.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) include medical management to reduce intracranial pressure, surgical interventions to remove hematomas or repair skull fractures, and rehabilitation therapies to restore function. Medical management often involves the use of diuretics, hyperosmolar therapy, and barbiturates to decrease brain swelling and prevent further injury.
Surgical interventions may be necessary to alleviate pressure on the brain and prevent secondary damage. Rehabilitation therapies, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, aim to improve cognitive and motor functions.
These treatments are crucial for TBI patients as they help mitigate the immediate and long-term effects of brain injury, promoting recovery and improving quality of life. The I-PAS Goggle System, while primarily a diagnostic tool for mild TBI, underscores the importance of early and accurate diagnosis in guiding appropriate treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes.
