The mTBI-Predict Study

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), often referred to as concussion, can result in long-term disability due to persistent headaches, imbalance, memory disturbance, and poor mental health, and around 30% of people with mTBI have not returned to work or sport at 12 months.

Aim of the study

mTBI-Predict is a long-term study that aims to identify the most accurate way of predicting how long it will take civilian, military personnel, or sportspeople to get back to normal work, duty, or play after a mild traumatic brain injury.

We aim to achieve this by examining data collected from brain scans, biofluids (blood, saliva, hair, and tears), vision, cerebral physiology (brain health), mental health, sleep, and vestibular (balance) activity.
This programme of research will deliver a step change in the care of patients with mild traumatic brain injury and bring much needed advances in patient management.
