Correlating Advanced MRI Techniques With Neuropsychological Analysis and Immunosensing Assays for Assessment of Sport-related Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI)

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral, Diagnostic test
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), also referred to as concussions, affect millions of people around the world and can cause harmful long term effects. Unfortunately, concussions can be hard to diagnose and many people have lasting post-concussion symptoms such as headaches, difficulty concentrating, and light sensitivity. Recent studies have shown that advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques can identify subtle brain changes caused by a concussion. This study aims to track concussions over time measuring MRI brain scans and post-concussion symptoms to gain a better understand how the brain is affected in comparison to symptoms.
