Summary
This study looks at whether changes in RNA found in saliva can help predict how long concussion symptoms will last in children aged 5 to 21. Researchers will collect saliva samples and track symptoms in 700 participants who had a mild concussion within the past week. The goal is to better understand recovery patterns, not to test a treatment.
