Investigation of Neurocognitive Measures of Sport-Related Injury

N/AEnrolling By InvitationNCT03414242

Mayo Clinic4,000 enrolled

Overview

The overall objective is to provide an onsite diagnosis with subsequent return to play criteria, as well as, lower the risk of traumatic brain injury by primary prevention through cervical spine neuromuscular control and vision training. The central hypothesis is that improved understanding of neurocognitive measures and function will provide improved diagnosis of concussion and help reduce the incidence of subsequent sports-related injury.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in blood metabolite profile

Blood metabolite profile change from baseline blood draws will be analyzed to determine what blood biomarkers (e.g. amino acids, glycerophospholipids (mg/dL) ) are most sensitive to the presence of a concussion.

Time frame: Through study completion, an athletic season average of 4 months
