Aerobic Exercise for Concussion

NCT02959216 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 125

Last updated 2020-11-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The use of aerobic exercise treatment in the chronic phase of concussion recovery is well-described in the literature but there are limited existing data on the effect of exercise treatment in the acute phase after sport-related concussion (SRC). This study will compare the outcomes of adolescents with a recent SRC who are randomized to sub-threshold aerobic exercise versus those randomized to placebo stretching to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise in the acute recovery phase.

Conditions

  • Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Acute Brain Injury
  • Brain Concussion

Interventions

OTHER

Aerobic Exercise

Participants will be given a prescription to exercise up to 90% of their threshold heart rate for symptom exacerbation. Heart rate threshold will be monitored weekly in order to increase exercise level accordingly.

OTHER

Stretching Exercise

Participants will be given a prescription to complete a standardized stretching protocol.
