Experts from the University of Nottingham are part of a major new study aimed at identifying new ways to accurately predict whether patients will develop long-term complications as a consequence of concussion.
The new study is led by the University of Birmingham and the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, in collaboration with the Defence Medical Services and funded by the Ministry of Defence (£2m) and projected to run over eight years.
The multi-faceted study will include a trial involving 400 civilians and 400 military personnel aged over 18 with a new diagnosis of concussion (also known as a mild traumatic brain injury or mTBI) which has resulted in them needing hospital treatment or rehabilitation.
