Post-Concussion Differences Between Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT) and Modified Dynamic Exertion (mEXiT) Test (NCT06276660)
Comparing Symptom Provocation and Physiological Response Between Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT) Protocol and Modified Dynamic Exertion Test (mEXiT) Post Concussion
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study aims to compare symptom provocation, physiologic response, and rate of perceived (RPE) between the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT) and a Modified Dynamic Exertion (mEXiT) test after sport related concussion in adolescents aged 14-17. Participants will be enrolled at their initial concussion clinical visit within 14 days of their injury, and randomly assigned to either the BCTT or mEXiT group. Participants will complete a single visit.
