ClinConnect Summary

The Concussion Health Improvement Program is a clinical trial aimed at helping young people aged 11 to 18 who are experiencing ongoing symptoms after a concussion. Each year, over a million youth in the U.S. suffer from concussions, and many experience long-term issues that can affect their daily lives, including their school performance and emotional well-being. This study is testing a new treatment approach combining therapy for the youth, skills training for parents, and care management, all delivered remotely through video calls. The goal is to see how effective these different components are in improving symptoms and overall quality of life for the participants.

To be eligible for the trial, young people must have been diagnosed with a concussion within the past year and report at least three new or worsening symptoms related to their concussion. The study is currently recruiting participants, and those who join can expect to take part in treatment sessions over three months while completing surveys to track their progress. This research is important because it aims to create a refined treatment program that can be widely used to support young individuals recovering from concussions.
