Brain Development in Young Children Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury - Pilot Study

NCT06024122 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2026-03-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Concussions (also known as mild traumatic brain injury) are common in young children. In some children, they can lead to short- and long-term difficulties. However, our knowledge of the exact consequences of injuries on young children's brains and behavior is limited. These consequences may be different in children under 6, as their brains are fragile and undergoing significant developmental changes.

The aim of this study is to determine the extent to which a concussion sustained before the age of 6 years is associated with changes in young children's brain structure, function and behaviours, using a brain imaging.

In this study, the results of a group of 30 children with a concussion will be compared to those of 30 children of the same age with an orthopaedic injury to the upper or lower limbs.

Conditions

  • TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)

Interventions

OTHER

IRM exam

A non-sedated MRI scan will be performed to assess the structure and function of the children's brains
