First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new treatment called ACTIVE that combines counseling (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) with balance exercises for people with mild traumatic brain injury. Researchers want to see if it helps reduce dizziness and anxiety better than standard balance therapy alone. The trial will enroll 250 adults aged 18-49 and track their progress for 6 months after treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy combined with vestibular rehabilitation (behavioral therapy and balance exercises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more effective way to reduce dizziness and anxiety after mild concussion, improving daily life for many.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with 250 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy requires active participation and may not work for all types of concussion symptoms.
