Sub-Symptom Aerobic Exercise Therapy to Improve Recovery From Acute Sport-Related Concussion: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia·interventional·Posted Nov 9, 2016·Updated Nov 24, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Aerobic Exercise and Stretching Exercise for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 125 participants across 3 sites.

Detailed 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.
