Investigation of Neurocognitive Measures of Sport-Related Injury

Not Applicable
Conditions
Concussion, Brain
Registration Number
NCT03414242
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in blood metabolite profileThrough study completion, an athletic season average of 4 months

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.
