Risk Stratification in Children With Concussion (NCT05825027)

A Risk Stratification Model for Health and Academic Outcomes in Children With Concussion Based on Novel Symptom Trajectory Typologies

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Duke University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This project will measure concussion symptoms, biological markers, and academic and social factors across the first year postconcussion to develop a model that enables early identification of and symptom management for children at higher risk for persistent postconcussive symptoms. Findings will provide novel insights into the longer-term effects of concussion on children's physical, psychological, and social well-being and support the development of personalized healthcare and school-based plans to reduce disparities in children's ability to return-to-learn and -play and improve postconcussion quality of life.
