Eyes on the brain: could a quick eye scan detect concussion?
NCT ID NCT07742878
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new device called Traq™ that measures how well both eyes work together, including fixation and eye movement speed. The goal is to see if these measurements can help tell apart people who have had a recent mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) from those who have not. The study will include about 10 participants aged 12 and older, some with a recent mTBI and some without. The device is non-invasive, meaning it only involves looking at a screen, and no treatment is given.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Traq™ device (a non-invasive binocular ophthalmic neurodiagnostic device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a quick, non-invasive way to help detect or monitor mild traumatic brain injury and concussion by measuring eye movements.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device is investigational and not yet proven to be accurate or reliable.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 12 years or older at the time of enrollment. 2. Able to understand and sign an informed consent form (or with parent/guardian for subjects less than 18 years of age). 3. Willing and able to complete all required study visits and test assessments. 4. Subjects with no history of traumatic brain injury (normal arm). 5. Subjects with a history of mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) within the last six months, (post-TBI arm). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Concurrent participation in another drug or device clinical investigation. 2. Subject with a history of eye disease which could reduce, or limit reflected polarized light from the retina, such as corneal scarring, cataract, glaucoma, degenerative retinal conditions (e.g., age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy), or other conditions which may decrease device signal reflectance. 3. Subjects who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
