New balance therapy for concussion patients put to the test
NCT ID NCT07549529
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to improve balance problems after a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). Researchers will develop a new exercise program that focuses on how the body responds to imbalance, and compare it to standard balance therapy. The study will involve 80 adults aged 18-60 who have had a concussion within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and still have symptoms. The goal is to create simple, practical tests using wearable sensors that doctors can use in the clinic.
