NCT ID NCT05320822

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a structured rehabilitation program for active-duty soldiers who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). The program includes low-intensity aerobic exercise, balance, and cognitive activities tailored to each soldier's symptoms and job demands. Researchers want to see if this approach helps soldiers recover faster and return to full duty compared to standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Active rehabilitation program (low-intensity aerobic exercise, balance, and cognitive activities)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could help soldiers with concussion recover faster and return to duty sooner with fewer lingering symptoms.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 130 participants, so results may not apply to all concussion cases. The program may not speed recovery more than standard care.
