First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests a new MRI method to find tiny brain changes in professional soccer players who may be at risk for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) from repeated headers. Researchers will compare brain scans of 80 male players nearing retirement or recently retired with those of people who never played contact sports. The goal is to see if early detection can lead to better monitoring and prevention for athletes.
