ClinConnect Summary

The "Get Going After concussion Lite" study is looking at a new way to help adults who are still feeling unwell after a concussion. Each year, many people in Denmark suffer from concussions, which can lead to lingering symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or trouble concentrating. This trial aims to test a digital program called GAIN Lite that could help improve these symptoms and to learn more about how physical activity and daily habits might affect recovery.

To participate, you need to be between 18 and 60 years old and have had a concussion due to a head injury in the past few months. You also need to be able to read and speak Danish. However, if you have serious neurological issues or have had a concussion recently with ongoing problems, you won't be eligible. If you join the study, you'll be randomly assigned to either the GAIN Lite program or to receive regular care. Throughout the trial, researchers will track how your symptoms change and how physical activity affects your recovery. This study is an exciting step toward better understanding and treating concussions!
