Study Summary

This trial is testing if anesthesia affects the brain differently in people who have had a concussion.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women over the age of 16 who have had a concussion within the last 10 weeks and are scheduled for a procedure that requires anesthesia. It's not open to those with severe cognitive diseases, moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), attention disorders, or past neurovascular trauma.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to assess how anesthesia and surgery might affect brain function after a recent concussion. Participants will undergo neurocognitive testing before and after their procedures to measure any changes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves standard medical procedures rather than new medications, side effects are related to typical risks associated with anesthesia such as nausea, drowsiness, sore throat, confusion or memory issues post-surgery.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Matched Subjects GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Matched subjects without concussion undergoing a planned surgery/anesthetic standard of care, matching for procedural type, sex, age ± 2 years, and adherence to the exclusion criteria will undergo neurocognitive testing pre and post surgery/anesthetic.
Group II: Concussion GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects diagnosed with concussion defined as a clinician-diagnosed disease by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 due to a head injury with a Glasgow Coma Score ≥13 undergoing a planned surgery/anesthetic standard of care will undergo neurocognitive testing pre and post surgery/anesthetic.
