NCT ID NCT04576715

Summary

This study tested whether training doctors and giving them electronic decision tools could help children recover better from mild traumatic brain injuries (concussions). It involved 101 children aged 5-18 and their emergency, urgent care, and primary care doctors. Researchers followed the children for three months to see if the new approach reduced school problems and concussion symptoms compared to standard care.
