Scientists hunt for ways to shield Athletes' brains from hidden damage

NCT ID NCT06810193

Summary

This study aims to understand how repeated, non-concussive head impacts in sports affect brain function and to test ways to protect it. It will enroll 350 college athletes from contact sports like football and soccer, along with some non-contact athletes for comparison. Researchers will use eye scans, blood tests, and brain wave measurements to look for subtle signs of injury and test if certain treatments can help the brain recover faster.
