Trial summary

This proposal aims to describe the oculometric features present during King-Devick (K-D) testing for subjects who experienced sports-related concussion. The investigators aim to better describe the underlying oculomotor anomalies present in this cohort that lead to increased K-D test time. Read more about this study

About this study

This proposal aims to describe the oculometric features present during King-Devick (K-D) testing for subjects who experienced sports-related concussion. The investigators aim to better describe the underlying oculomotor anomalies present in this cohort that lead to increased K-D test time. Understanding these anomalies will allow for better understanding of the effects of sports-related concussion and may provide a rapid and reliable metric for diagnosing concussion as well as monitoring long-term recovery.

This proposal aims to describe the oculometric features present during K-D testing for subjects who experienced sports-related concussion. The investigators aim to better describe the underlying oculomotor anomalies present in this cohort that lead to increased K-D test time. Understanding these anomalies will allow for better understanding of the effects of sports-related concussion and may provide a rapid and reliable metric for diagnosing concussion as well as monitoring long-term recovery.

The main objectives include:

  1. Describing the oculometric deficits present in subjects with acute sports-related concussion.
  2. Analyzing and quantifying the oculometric changes that occur during subject recovery.
  3. Identifying possible oculometric features as potential biomarkers that may lead to reliable, rapid method for recognizing acute concussion.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in time to complete King-Devick Test

    The King-Devick Test (K-D Test) is a two-minute test that requires an athlete to read single digit numbers displayed. Subjects will be seated in front of a computer screen and eye tracking device connected to the computer. The eye tracking device consists of infrared cameras, which captured eye movements by tracking the reflections of infrared reference lights on the subjects' retinas. Before the start of the experiment, they will begin by watching a moving target on the computer screen to calibrate the system. Then, the subject completes a computerized version of the K-D test. The K-D test requires that the subject rapidly read aloud the numbers presented on the three test cards. Reading the three test cards requires less than two minutes to complete. The number of errors will be counted. Oculometric data will be collected during the test and analyzed offline. The total time required to complete all three test cards is the completion time for the entire K-D test.

    Measured: Baseline to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Traumatic Brain Injury, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in time to complete King-Devick Test (time frame: Baseline to 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Nov 2015.
