MindRhythm Detection of Concussion and Recovery Study
(DISCOVERY)
What this study is about
This study is designed to observe HeadPulse data in concussed subjects that may have experienced a concussion via an injury down to the age of 4. Sports teams are the focus of this study because therein lies inherent potential risk for concussion.
View original scientific description
This study is designed to observe HeadPulse data in concussed subjects that may have experienced a concussion via an injury down to the age of 4. Sports teams are the focus of this study because therein lies inherent potential risk for concussion. This observational study will further confirm the data previously collected in professional athletes to further validate that the HeadPulse can be used as a digital biometric to objectively indicate when a concussed brain remains concussed despite a subject feeling no symptoms has extreme value. This study is intended to support the development of a device to objectively determine when it is safe to return to play or normal activity based on the output of the digital biometric.
Primary outcome measures
The primary endpoint is measurement and aggregate evaluation of the time course of HeadPulse abnormalities and the proportion of subjects who later worsen following clearance to return to activities.
Time frame: Subject data will be acquired for approximately 30 days from subject enrollment

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
