NCT ID NCT03539848

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a portable goggle system with eye-tracking technology can accurately diagnose mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in community settings like emergency rooms. Researchers enrolled 120 adults aged 18-50 who had a head injury with symptoms. The goal was to see if the goggles could reliably detect mTBI and measure recovery time.
