I have had a stroke or brain injury.

Treatment Details

Interventions

• Neurocognitive Testing

Trial Overview 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.

Participant Groups

Group I: Matched Subjects Group Experimental Treatment 1 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 Group Experimental Treatment 1 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.
