NCT ID NCT07569354
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 250 adults aged 65 and older who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), often from a fall. Researchers will check their thinking, physical abilities, mood, and sleep at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the injury. The goal is to understand how recovery happens and what factors help or hinder it, which could lead to better care for older adults.
