Official title
A Feasibility Study for a Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effectiveness of Early Physical Therapy Intervention for Patients With Dizziness After a Sports-Related Concussion
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of conducting a randomized clinical trial (RCT) on physical therapist treatment for dizziness after sports-related concussion. The specific research question for this pilot RCT is: What is the feasibility of conducting a RCT on athletes who have dizziness 10 or greater days after a sports-related concussion to explore the effectiveness of directed vestibular rehabilitation, neuromotor retraining, and/or manual physical therapy (PT) when compared to sham treatment? The findings of this study (for both feasibility and effect size) will be used to inform and direct revisions to the methods for a larger RCT on this population. Primary Aims: Specific Aim 1: Assess the feasibility of the following: recruitment and retention of participants, required resources for project management, and assessment of patient safety. Specific Aim 2: Estimate the size of the effect between skilled physical therapist intervention and a sham treatment for the recovery rate for athletes with a concussion who have dizziness 10 - 14 days post-concussion.
