NCT ID NCT05859815
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special exam called Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) could help classify people with concussions based on how they respond to certain movements. Researchers planned to enroll people aged 13 to 65 with neck pain, headache, or dizziness after a concussion. The study was stopped early after enrolling only 13 participants.
