A virtual bridge to faster concussion recovery for kids
NCT ID NCT07736534
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a telehealth program that connects concussion specialists with pediatricians can help youth aged 8 to 17 recover faster from a concussion. Participants receive weekly video visits with a specialist for the first month after injury, focusing on managing symptoms like headaches, sleep problems, and stress. The goal is to see if this co-management model makes specialized care more accessible and improves recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A telehealth co-management program where a concussion specialist meets weekly with youth and caregivers for 4 weeks to provide symptom management strategies.
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could make specialized concussion care more accessible to youth, potentially speeding recovery and reducing long-term symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on telehealth access, which may not work for everyone.
